The clearest pictures yet of the newborn cosmos strengthen the prevailing model of the universe but deepen a mystery about its expansion rate. Measurements of this rate, known as the Hubble constant, ...
A new analysis of ‘cool’ spots in the cosmic microwave background may cast new doubts on a key piece of evidence supporting the big bang theory of how the universe was formed. Two scientists at The ...
The cosmic microwave background, shown at left in this illustration, is a flash of light that occurred when the young universe cooled enough for electrons and protons to form the first atoms. It ...
It's well established that the universe is expanding, but there's serious disagreement among scientists over how fast it's happening. Two of our best ways of measuring the cosmic expansion rate, the ...
