Our galaxy may reside in a billion-light-year-wide cosmic bubble that accelerates local expansion, potentially settling the ...

Earth and the entire Milky Way galaxy might be sitting inside an enormous, mysterious void—a giant cosmic hole making our universe expand faster right here than anywhere else. This unusual idea, ...

Take a deep breath: the universe is not just big it’s mind-bogglingly, practically scandalously huge. And it’s growing. A century ago, Edwin Hubble peered through his telescope and shattered human ...

Last week, standing with the Bible skeptic Michael on the common ground that science affords, we continued to look to the ...

Astrophysicists suggest our galaxy may lie inside a "cosmic void" - offering a new explanation for the universe’s conflicting ...

The Andromeda galaxy is also known as Messier 31. It is a spiral galaxy located about 2.5 million light-years from Earth. On ...

A hundred years ago, astronomer Edwin Hubble revealed a universe of galaxies that existed beyond ours. His influence in astronomy continues to this day.

Scientists have proposed a wild new theory at the Royal Astronomical Society's National Astronomy Meeting (NAM) in Durham - ...

However, although photons of light existed since the first second after the Big Bang, they could not yet shine across the universe. This is because the early cosmos was so hot that "electrons were ...

Edwin Hubble trained to become a lawyer but chose to pursue a career in astronomy instead. In 1919, he accepted a position at the Mount Wilson Observatory in California, where his groundbreaking study ...

Hubble’s work confirmed these findings in 1929. These early observations relied on a phenomenon called red shift, which is the visual version of the doppler effect.
