How will Europe's Euclid space telescope see into the dark universe?

Europe's Euclid telescope is heading to space to prove whether hypothetical dark energy and dark matter really exist. The mission's findings may rewrite cosmology textbooks.

What does the universe sound like? Scientists describe cosmic ‘background hum’

Scientists unveiled evidence that gravitational waves, the ripples in the fabric of space-time, are permeating the universe at low frequencies - creating a cosmic background hum

Astronomers reveal evidence of universe's 'background hum'

PARIS: Astronomers across the world announced on Thursday that they have found the first evidence of a long-theorised form of gravitational waves that create a "background hum" rumbling throughout the universe.

Using a detector the size of a galaxy, astronomers find strongest evidence yet for gravitational waves from supermassive black hole pairs

When black holes and other enormously massive, dense objects whirl around one another, they send out ripples in space and time called gravitational waves. These waves are one of the few ways we have to study the enigmatic cosmic giants that create them.

Scientists have finally 'heard' the chorus of gravitational waves that ripple through the universe

Scientists have observed for the first time the faint ripples caused by the motion of black holes that are gently stretching and squeezing everything in the universe

Cosmological models are built on a simple, century-old idea -- but new observations demand a radical rethink

Our ideas about the Universe are based on a century-old simplification known as the cosmological principle. It suggests that when averaged on large scales, the Cosmos is homogeneous and matter is distributed evenly throughout.

Distortions in space-time could put Einstein's theory of relativity to the ultimate test

Observing time distortions could show whether Einstein's theory of general relativity accounts for the mysteries of dark matter and dark energy.

Spectre: The deceptively simple shape that’s taken mathematics by storm

On March 20, 2023, a team of four researchers announced that they had discovered an einstein, an object that mathematicians had been searching for almost 60 years. An einstein – also known as an aperiodic monotile – is a shape that can tile a surface plane, but only in a…
