The Earth's atmosphere has been blasted by the second strongest ultrahigh-energy cosmic ray (UHECR) to ever be observed. While its exact origins remain unknown, astrophysicists are pointing the finger ...

Sound waves 'fossilized' in the arrangements of galaxies across the Universe support the theory that the Milky Way galaxy floats adrift in a giant void in space. If this is the case, we could be ...

Earth, its cosmic home the Milky Way, and even the very local region of universe around us could be situated within a void of low density compared to the rest of the universe. If so, that would solve ...

The universe’s expansion makes galaxies move away from each other. The further away they are from us, the more quickly they move. The relationship between a galaxy’s speed and distance is governed by ...

Could it be that the nature of the universe is tricking us, merely because of our location? The ongoing “Hubble tension” the intransigent discrepancy between the universe’s local and cosmic expansion ...

Cosmologists have discovered new evidence from the early universe that suggests we are living in a giant void. After studying sound waves from the initial moments of the universe – essentially the ...

In recent years, one of the most troubling puzzles in astrophysics has grown more urgent. Scientists have realized that the universe seems to be expanding faster than expected, throwing a wrench into ...

Astronomers suggest Earth lies in a giant cosmic void, possibly explaining faster local expansion and offering clues to resolve the Hubble tension and date the universe. (Nanowerk News) Earth and our ...

Our best observations can't come up with a single answer for how quickly the universe is expanding. Maybe that's because our galaxy is at the center of a giant void. When you purchase through links on ...

One of the biggest mysteries in cosmology is the rate at which the universe is expanding. This can be predicted using the standard model of cosmology, also known as Lambda-cold dark matter (ΛCDM).
