Scientists are championing a relatively new technique as a method to understand the structure of the early universe in three dimensions. With enough time and magnifying power, a telescope can gather ...

Astronomers have created the largest and most detailed 3D map yet of a glowing signal from the early universe, revealing hidden galaxies and gas from 9-11 billion years ago. By analyzing faint ...

The Nature Index 2025 Research Leaders — previously known as Annual Tables — reveal the leading institutions and countries/territories in the natural and health sciences, according to their output in ...

When the Cape Mendocino earthquake struck on April 25, 1992, magnitude was not the only parameter of interest to seismologists. Until Charles Richter developed a magnitude scale, the primary method of ...

Peer into the sky through a powerful telescope, and beyond the glare of the Milky Way, you can make out the faint glow of distant galaxies. These galaxies clump together in dense clusters joined by ...

The space between galaxies is not empty. In a new map of the early universe, those “blank” stretches take on a faint, hydrogen-blue glow that had mostly escaped surveys until now. Astronomers working ...

For all the impressive maps astronomers have made of the distant universe, much of the action has stayed out of sight. The brightest galaxies were relatively easy to chart. The faint hydrogen glow ...
