A galaxy that suddenly stopped forming new stars more than 13 billion years ago has been observed by astronomers.

Projects under NASA’s CLPS program will probe unexplored questions about the universe’s formation.

Researchers have discovered the oldest black hole ever observed, dating from the dawn of the universe, and found that it is ‘eating’ its host galaxy to death.

The nature of dark energy remains one of the biggest puzzles in cosmology.

If we lived in a cosmic area with below average density, it would explain recent contradictory measurements of the universe’s expansion.

The universe is expanding faster than physicists would expect. To figure out what processes underlie this fast expansion rate, some researchers are first trying to rule out what processes can’t.

Researchers have found a new way to measure dark energy – the mysterious force that makes up more than two-thirds of the universe and is responsible for its

For the first time, the James Webb Space Telescope has observed the chemical signature of carbon-rich dust grains in the early universe.

The enigma at the centre of our 20-year collaboration was how the Big Bang could have created conditions so perfectly hospitable to life

A spacecraft set to launch this year will throw a spotlight on the mysterious ‘dark side’ of the universe.
