The team explores one of the greatest discoveries of modern astronomy - that our universe is expanding - and the new questions it raises about how the cosmos works. The team explores one of the ...
Why is the universe expanding at an ever-increasing rate? This is one of the most exciting yet unresolved questions in modern ...
IT IS ONE of the biggest mysteries in cosmology—and getting bigger all the time. Ever since Edwin Hubble, an American astronomer, published observations of distant galaxies in 1929, scientists have ...
After a century of observations spanning the breadth of the cosmos and theoretical insights that push humanity's vision of ...
For science-fiction enthusiasts, that’s a bit depressing. Space is big, and while the speed of light is incredibly fast to us ...
A new Utah Valley University study is providing new evidence in a debate astronomers across the world haven’t been able to agree on — how fast the universe is expanding. The findings may add more fuel ...
