A team of scientists devised a new technique for estimating distances to pulsars, challenging traditional methods. By ...

A burst of light in the deep sky is doing something it should not be able to do. It looks like one supernova, but it shows up ...

The Universe is continually expanding, and scientists measure its expansion rate, the Hubble Constant, using two main methods: electromagnetic methods (using light from stars, galaxies, or supernovae) ...

A proposed five-satellite Cosmic Positioning System could measure cosmic distances directly and help address discrepancies in the Hubble constant through solar system–scale triangulation.

When did Jupiter’s Galilean moons first contain the ingredients for life? This is what complementary studies published in The ...

New research using NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope examines the maximum sizes of gas giant exoplanets, measuring chemical compositions and formation processes in the HR 8799 system.

Tark Thermal Solutions, the leading global manufacturer of thermal management solutions (formerly Laird Thermal Systems), announces the launch of two and three stage OptoTEC ® MSX Series micro ...

Southwest Research Institute was part of an international team that demonstrated how complex organic molecules (COMs), key chemical precursors to life, could have been incorporated into Jupiter's ...

Hubble constant. The Hubble constant is crucial in understanding the rate of expansion of the universe and, by extension, ...

So scientists found a workaround. Instead of building one gigantic telescope, they placed smaller telescopes far apart and ...

Drawing together leading experts from across the field, an international collaboration of cosmologists has created a unified approach for measuring the value of the Hubble constant. Published in ...
