As the COVID-19 crisis trudges on, many are shifting their focus to the day-to-day struggles of living amid a global pandemic and away from an increasingly uncertain future.   

If you look out on the sky on a nice clear dark night, you’ll see thousands of intense points of light. Those stars are incredibly far away, but bright enough to be seen with the naked eye from that great distance – a considerable feat. But what you don’t see are all the small stars, …

The post In the far future, the universe will be mostly invisible appeared first on Universe Today.

IBM (NYSE: IBM) announced today that the Victoria University of Wellington, on behalf of the Murchison Widefield Array (MWA) Consortium, has selected IBM systems technology to help scientists probe the origins of the universe.

Astrophysicist Jo Dunkley talks in the latest episode of the “She Roars” podcast about studying the origins of the universe — and sharing her love of space with the public.

Light from nearby galaxies illuminated the web’s ‘threads,’ making them directly visible to telescopes on Earth.

Six episodes exploring the vast, mysterious, and powerful universe we live in.

A sophisticated computer simulation of the universe, approximately 1 billion light years across, is modelling tens of thousands of galaxies

The cosmos is stranger than we ever imagined and new bubbles of space-time may pop up and grow continuously with no beginning or end, writes Chanda Prescod-Weinstein

Entropy is the physicist’s magic word, invoked to answer to some of the biggest questions in cosmology. Yet a quantum rethink may be needed to tell us what it actually is

Physicists are finally getting their heads round what information truly is – and using it to gain new insights into life, the universe and, well… everything

It certainly wasn’t big, and probably didn’t bang – and the surprises in the conventional story of the universe's origins don’t end there

Dark energy dominates the universe, and could lead it to a cold, bleak end. But that's not to say we have much clue what it is or how it works

Mathematicians have come up with a way to explore strange 3D spaces that could be related to the shape of the universe

Why is there something rather than nothing? We’re finally making enough antimatter to extract an answer – and it might reveal the dark side of the universe too

Our measurements of the Hubble constant can't seem to come up with a consistent answer. What we learn next may alter our view of the cosmos, writes Chanda Prescod-Weinstein

Fundamental limits on space and time mean that the motion of three black holes is impossible to predict, even with the most powerful computer that could ever be built

The question of how the brain gives rise to subjective experience is the hardest of all. Mathematicians think they can help, but their first attempts have thrown up some eye-popping conclusions

Earth’s atmosphere thankfully provides air for us to breathe, but when trying to study interesting objects in space it causes all sorts of problems, writes Chanda Prescod-Weinstein

A huge black hole in a distant galaxy caused the largest explosion we have ever seen, with the energy of 10 billion suns – and it isn't clear why it was so big

Scientists have made a major breakthrough that could help us understand the origin of our universe, they say.

Built using traditional and local techniques of construction, this distinctive structure sits on the edge of a national forest and a long-vanished lake.

Does it make sense putting this in a small town up on the Canadian Shield?

New evidence from neutrinos points to one of several theories about why the cosmos is made of matter and not antimatter
