It’s an open secret in astronomy that, practically wherever the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) looks in the sky, a vast, ...

JWST observations of galaxy cluster MACS J1149 show gravitational lensing used by CANUCS to study distant low-mass galaxies across a wide range of cosmic time.

The most powerful telescope to be launched into space has made history by detecting a record number of new stars in a distant galaxy. NASA's James Webb Space Telescope, history's largest and most ...

Earlier, we had been viewing a dark picture of the dark matter. We are now viewing the invisible skeleton of the universe in ...

By studying how light from eight distant quasars is gravitationally lensed as it propagates towards Earth, astronomers have calculated a new value for the Hubble constant – a parameter that describes ...

A group of astronomers have made history by capturing an image of a record number of stars from a time when the universe was half its age. The astronomers detected 44 stars in the "Dragon Arc" galaxy, ...

Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) polarized light subjected to gravitational lensing effects, in addition to cosmic birefringence. On the far left, the white lines show the polarization pattern of the ...

Around 37,000 citizen scientists combed through 430,000 images to help an international team of researchers to discover 29 new gravitational lens candidates through Space Warps, an online ...

Future missions will be able to find signatures of violating the parity-symmetry in the cosmic microwave background polarization more accurately after a pair of researchers has managed to take into ...
