Despite decades of searching for this signal, astronomers have yet to find it. The problem is that our Earth is too noisy, making it nearly impossible to capture this whisper. The solution is to go to ...

Galaxies may not be as simple as "young and blue" or "old and red." A new idea from astrophysicist Charles Steinhardt proposes a third type: red star-forming galaxies that break the mold. These galaxi ...

Scientists discover ancient galaxy created early transparent bubbles, challenging cosmic timeline of universe formation.
