Astronomers have discovered potentially the most massive black hole ever detected. The cosmic behemoth is close to the ...

The standard model of cosmology relies on an accurate reading of the cosmic microwave background. This radiation, emitted 380,000 years after the Big Bang, is considered proof of the theory's ...

Cosmic microwave background (CMB) is a record of the first photons that escaped from the rapidly cooling, coalescing universe about 300,000 years after the cosmic explosion known as the Big Bang ...

This breathtaking Hubble image of spiral galaxy NGC 1309 reveals more than swirling stars and glowing dust—it holds a cosmic ...

The Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB for short), is light: the oldest and most distant light that we can see in the entire universe. It comes from soon after the Big Bang – which is considered to be ...

The scientists selected 1.5 million lens galaxies that were thought to have been visible 12 billion years ago and used information from the Subaru Hyper Suprime-Cam Survey (HSC) images to identify ...

"Heroic" research confirms universe's bleak future Monday, 27 May 2002 The Cosmic Background Imager has 13 radio antennas on a plateau in a Chilean desert (Pic: CBI/Caltech/NSF) An Australian ...

The research, detailed last week at a National Science Foundation briefing, was conducted using the Cosmic Background Imager, a set of 13 radio antennas located high in the Atacama Desert of Chile.

The earliest galaxies may have scrambled our reading of the Universe. A new study challenges the traditional interpretation of the cosmic microwave background, this fossil light from the Big Bang.

The research, by a team of astronomers using the Cosmic Background Imager (CBI) in Chile's Atacama Desert is presented in a series of five papers presented for publication last week to the ...
