Do we live in a simulation? Researcher claims he found proof of our universe’s source code
What if the universe isn’t as spontaneous as it seems? What if the galaxies, the laws of physics—even you—are all running on code? It’s a …

We have a bit of a crisis on our hands — a dark matter crisis if you will. That’s because, for years, scientists theorized that …
Astronomers have made an astounding discovery. According to a new paper featured in Nature Astronomy, we have now detected dark matter in the cosmic web …
Space is a really big place. In fact, our universe is more massive and expansive than we can probably ever fully understand. To give us …
A new study could challenge our current understanding of the universe’s age. According to a new study published in Nature Astronomy, the universe may not …
Understanding the universe is a gamble and one that we could have been approaching incorrectly for almost a century. Now, a new theory that suggests …
Einstein’s theory on the expansion of the universe might be wrong. At least, that’s the running idea behind a new study published in Classical and …
Despite the fact that our universe is electrically neutral, atoms found throughout the universe can be positively charged nuclei or negatively charged electrons. When these …
Astronomers with John Hopkins University have created an interactive map of the universe that literally lets you scroll through over 200,000 galaxies. The map, which …
A group of researchers from around the world are banding together to try to uncover the secrets of the universe’s first moments. Those first moments …
The universe is massive, and Earth is located a long way away from the edge of our known universe. Putting that into a scale is …
Astronomers have observed what they believe is a triple-star system in space surrounded by a chaotic disc of dust that could form planets. The stars …
A scientist has crunched the numbers to estimate when the universe will “die,” or fizzle out with no more star activity whatsoever. The last supernova …
A new cosmic structure was just discovered that may hold an incredible number of galaxies, stars, and planets. The structure is now known as the …

An astronomer has calculated what he believes are the odds that life exists elsewhere in the universe, and they’re quite favorable. Based on his calculations, …
Astronomers discovered that old, massive galaxies tend to be messy and disorderly, and set out to explain why. Computer simulations revealed that large ancient galaxies …
Figuring out how our reality took shape over billions of years is no easy task for scientists. Theories about how the Big Bang played out …
Considering we can’t actually see the Milky Way from the outside — since, you know, we’re in it — astronomers know a surprising amount about …
These days, scientists think they have a pretty good idea of what the universe is made of. By detecting the telltale signatures of various elements …
Everyone’s had a moment or two in their lives where they pull off an incredible feat but can’t explain how they did it. Perhaps it …
The Universe is growing. Scientists have known as much for decades, but the rate at which it is getting bigger has been the topic of …
Centuries of astronomical observation and technological advances have revealed a lot about the Universe we all call home, but it’s also raised plenty of new …
There’s no shortage of interesting things to see in our own galaxy, but astronomers love finding new galactic neighbors as well. Observing other galaxies can …
