|
A mysterious "hole in space" called a "supervoid" has baffled scientists since it was first found in 2004. Now a new theory is trying to explain its highly unusual features.
|
|
New observations of supernovae have suggested that the universe may be expanding much slowly than has been thought up until now. This is a large change that could influence future theories about the end of the universe.
|
|
Described as a "time machine," scientists have recreated the history of the universe from near its birth to the present day, using a stunning computer simulation.

|
The particle-smashing Large Hadron Collider (LHC) in Cern, Switzerland, will restart next week and one of its major projects will be to search for tiny black holes, which could be gateways to parallel universes and new dimensions.
|

Think Mars is the ultimate life-harboring planet in our solar system? Think again. Recent findings from NASA indicate there may be life on not one, but two of Jupiter’s moons.
|
|
Dark matter, the substance that is thought to make up more than a quarter of the universe, remains a greater mystery. Scientists have now stated that earlier findings, seemingly discovering dark matter particles, are not correct.
|

What is the Universe? Centuries of human thought have "taught" us what it is. We've created our own concept of what the Universe is, but could we be wrong?
|
|
Scientists have discovered Methuselah, what is being called and "impossible star," which appears to be potentially older than the universe.
|
|
A new, more advanced technique for measuring the ages of large numbers of stars like the sun has been proposed by astrophysicists.
|
The famous theoretical astrophysicist Stephen Hawking, addressing a large audience at the California Institute of Technology on April 16, said that the Universe did not need a divine creator to bring it into being.
|

Internal view of the Stanford torus space station design. Artist's description: "The 1975 NASA Ames/Stanford University Summer Study worked out the broad engineering requirements for a toroidal shaped space colony design. This painting used the design, but I refused to fill the interior with the 'shopping mall gone mad' clutter of other drawings. Again the challenge of sustaining something like a closed ecosystem was a theme I wanted to emphasize. This design became known as the 'Stanford Torus' Don Davis
