An international team of researchers has produced the most accurate simulation of the universe to date, using supercomputers to model the entire history of the universe from the Big Bang to the ...

“Bazinga?” The term, pilfered from popular culture, might just capture the befuddlement that lingers around the Big Bang. For decades, the picture of a cosmic firecracker matter exploded outward from ...

When black holes emerge out of hiding to feast on their prey and some type of matter is sucked into their celestial maw, they begin to glow brightly. The events, dubbed “extreme nuclear transients,” ...

Astronomer Fred Hoyle supposedly coined the catchy term to ridicule the theory of the Universe’s origins — 75 years on, it’s time to set the record straight. “Words are like harpoons,” UK physicist ...

It's nicknamed the "Brightest Of All Time," or the "BOAT," for good reason. Astronomers have re-examined the biggest explosion ever seen, possibly the most massive explosion since the Big Bang, to ...
