NASA's James Webb Space Telescope has captured a unique image that revealed 44 individual stars in a galaxy 6.5 billion light-years away from the Milky Way.

How astronomers used gravitational lensing, a space-time trick predicted by Einstein, to detect a black hole measuring 30 ...

Across cosmic history, powerful forces have acted on matter, reshaping the universe into an increasingly complex web of ...

However, the discovery was also only possible because of a well-known concept in the world of physics: gravitational lensing. First developed as part of Albert Einstein's theory of general ...

A "cosmic CT scan" performed by scientists using two very different cosmic surveys has revealed the cosmos is less clumpy and ...

The universe is vast, a size beyond what many of our imaginations can deal with, but modern technology helps shine a light.

Capturing images of individual stars in distant galaxies has generally been considered impossible for decades. But NASA’s ...

Artist Ashley Zelinskie's new VR work is called "Twin Quasar." Two roads diverge between a pair of quasars, and I'm sorry I ...

When astronomers detected the first long-predicted gravitational waves in 2015, it opened a whole new window into the Universe.

The study, published Monday in Nature, said the researchers used a technique called gravitational lensing to identify the stars. The phenomenon occurs when light bends around a large celestial ...
