NASA said Webb observed PMR 1, nicknamed the “Exposed Cranium” nebula, in both near-infrared with NIRCam and mid-infrared with MIRI, revealing a brain-like interior divided by a dark vertical lane.

"The polarized light of the cosmic microwave background is sensitive to new physics that violates parity symmetry," the team ...

White noise on televisions and radios contained remnants of the Big Bang. When we saw it on screen during a bad reception or when channels were unavailable, we were unknowingly watching our universe's ...

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.

What if the Universe were not symmetrical? This idea, which goes against what scientists have long believed, emerges from new studies on large cosmic structures. Instead of being uniform in ...

A new map offers a new perspective on the city, revealing the steady, ever-present natural radiation emerging from the ground ...

It wasn’t long after Dr Laura Manenti landed in Sydney that she realised her new home was rather radioactive.

The Cosmic Background Explorer satellite (COBE) went up on a Delta rocket on Nov. 18, 1989, into a polar sun-synchronous ...

Understanding how massive stars evolve and return energy, momentum, and metals to their surroundings is a central problem in ...

An unusual yet scientifically accurate fact about one of the worlds most beloved fruits is drawing curiosity: bananas are mildly radioactive. Far from science fiction, this phenomenon is a natural ...

For the first time, scientists have watched high‑energy cosmic rays at work deep inside a thick cloud of gas, not just at its outer surface. Using the High Altitude Water Cherenkov Observatory (HAWC), ...

So cosmologists feel confident in modelling the universe using the “maximally symmetric” description of space-time in Einstein’s theory of general relativity. This symmetric vision for the universe, ...
