A new theory for the origin of the universe proposed by scholars at the University of Padua, University of Barcelona, and University of Pisa, redefines the first few moments of existence and decouples inflation from traditional cosmological models. The authors claim their approach relies less on speculation than the standard theory of inflation, minimizing dependence on unobserved phenomena. By grounding …

There’s a meme that’s been floating around on social media recently, offering encouragement to turn our everyday perspective upside down. “In the entire Universe, wood is rarer and more valuable than diamonds.” Credit: NASA/Chris Gunn While diamonds are surprisingly common in the Universe – being made from (very abundant) carbon crystallised in the high pressures of asteroid collisions and gas …

Could there be a huge ocean hidden 700 km beneath our feet? If the discoveries made by teams of scientists in two different parts of the world are anything to go by, this could well be the case. All the more reason to shake up many beliefs about our blue planet on the outside…. And a little on the inside. …

In a groundbreaking study published in the Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, astronomers have uncovered a puzzling cosmic observation that challenges our understanding of the universe’s formation. Using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), researchers analyzed galaxies from the early universe and made an astonishing discovery: a significant portion of these galaxies appears to rotate in a preferred …

At San Diego Comic-Con 2025, Marvel pulled back the curtain on what’s next for its sprawling cosmic saga during the Next Big Thing panel. Following months of teasers, the publisher confirmed that Jonathan Hickman’s four-part event, Imperial, will launch a bold new era of space-faring Marvel stories, with five brand-new ongoing series set to debut this fall.

The scientists who precisely measure the position of Earth are in a bit of trouble. Their measurements are essential for the satellites we use for navigation, communication and Earth observation every day. But you might be surprised to learn that …

Looking up at the night sky, it may seem our cosmic neighbourhood is packed full of planets, stars and galaxies. But scientists have long suggested there may be far fewer galaxies in our cosmic surroundings than expected. In fact, it appears we live in a giant cosmic void with roughly 20% lower than the average density of matter. Not every …

The frontrunner in this new space race is, of course, NASA. They’re the only organization to have even done it before in the first place, but that was 50 years ago. And while all the technology of the Apollo program still exists in the form of blueprints and designs, all the human expertise that went into crafting those rockets and …

Astronomers have long been puzzled by the forces that govern the movement of galaxies across vast stretches of space. A recent discovery, chronicled in a paper by scientists in 2014 (published in arxiv.org), deepens the mystery of a gravitational anomaly pulling over 400 galaxies, including the Milky Way, toward an unseen force. Known as the Great Attractor, this massive, invisible …
