Over the past few years, more and more experts have begun wondering whether the Big Bang model is indeed the most efficient one at explaining how the Universe came to be. Data are beginning to pile up showing evidence to contrary, and increasing numbers of astronomers are starting to listen. This theory holds that th... |

A recent study has demonstrated that massive galaxies, structures larger even than the Milky Way is now, existed very early on in the history of the Universe, perhaps as little as 1.5 to 2 billion years after the Big Bang. According to the research, these galaxies may have been 5 to 10 times more massive than our own... |

Investigators working in Europe, at the world's largest particle accelerator, say that they are zeroing in on the source of dark matter, the mysterious stuff believed to make up 23 percent of the mass of the Universe, but which is apparently impossible to detect.
Physicists have had a much better year than o... |

The most recent investigations conducted on the earliest days of the Cosmos have revealed that the Big Bang was followed by several hundred million years of darkness, in which absolutely no light was produced. The first stars and galaxies began developing after that period.Because of the total lack of light, those ea... |

In order to discover the oldest and most distant galaxies in the Universe, astronomers are using galaxies and clusters as massive gravitational lenses to boost telescopes' observing power. But doing so may actually harm the end result of the studies, a new report shows. According to the document, using this part... |

While surveying the night sky, a team of astronomers was able to image a narrow portion of a massive globular star cluster, which lies some 16,000 light-years away from Earth, in Omega Centauri. It is estimated that the stars in this structure are between 10 and 12 billion years old.An estimated 10 million stars can ... |

Astronomers have determined that the entire Universe is permeated by what could best be described as an ancient signature at a subatomic level, which may yield additional details about how everything came into being. Some of the particles in this signature apparently have the ability to exist in a large number of pla... |

Astrophysicists have a relatively solid background of data about what happened after the Big Bang, and how the Universe evolved to its current form. What they are a little hazy on is the process that took place millionths of a second after the initial event, and which triggered the Cosmic expansion.In a new investiga... |

Studies now show that the early Universe became sick when it was very young, when it sprung a fever as temperatures soared. The finding goes against all models of how the Cosmos evolved, which showed that temperatures dropped as time passed. The largest temperatures existed in the Universe when the Big Bang took plac... |
