Scientists have only observed supermassive black holes one billion years after the Big Bang, but astrophysicists have now breached this barrier.
Results for "early universe"
Astronomers observe a galaxy’s magnetic field in the very early Universe
The galaxy 9io9 is seen as it was when the cosmos was just 2.5 billion years old, making this the earliest galactic magnetic field ever observed.
Time ran slowly in the early Universe, just as Einstein predicted
Using quasars as ticking cosmic clocks, scientists took a journey back in time, discovering time progressed five times slower just after the Big Bang.
Footprints of phase transitions in the early universe
Gravitational waves produced by the phase transitions of matter right after the Big Bang could provide new insights into particle physics.
What can AI tell us about the early universe?
Using an artificial neural network and AI, researchers are developing a powerful computational tool to model particle physics following the Big Bang.
LISA gravitational wave detector could help scientists see the birth of the Universe
ESA greenlights LISA, a space-based observatory poised to detect gravitational waves across space and time.
James Webb Telescope deepens the mystery of the expansion of the Universe
It’s looking less and less likely that the Hubble tension is a result of observational errors.
Tracing life’s origins with early Earth chemistry
What role could non-biological molecules have played in helping primitive biological and chemical systems evolve into their current, complex forms?
Dark energy telescope reveals early look at almost two million cosmic objects
Galaxies, quasars, and stars… oh my! Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) first data is a small fraction of the huge cosmic survey it will conduct.
Explaining the “universe breaker” galaxies discovered by the James Webb Telescope
Astronomers report recent observation of six massive galaxies that according to our current understanding of the Universe should not exist at all.
