New COLIBRE simulations show how cold gas and dust help galaxies evolve from the early universe to today. (CREDIT: Monthly ...

For the first time, astronomers have caught a glimpse of shock waves rippling along strands of the cosmic web — the enormous tangle of galaxies, gas and dark matter that fills the observable universe.

A simulation of the cosmic web - a vast, three-dimensional “spider web” of gas filaments crisscrossing in the cosmos. Rather than being randomly distributed, galaxies tend to cluster at the nodes of ...

Scientists create the most detailed and accurate simulation ever produced of the first billion years of the universe. The CoDa III simulation shows galaxies forming in the early universe along the ...

The COLIBRE ‘virtual universe’ simulations have successfully reproduced many observed properties of real galaxies, both in the present-day Universe and in ...

Supercomputer simulations predict that matter in the universe is distributed in a network of filaments known as the ‘cosmic web’, where the vast majority of atoms reside as diffuse hydrogen gas. In ...

2D projection of the cosmic web as obtained from a supercomputer simulation. CREDIT Dr Ewald Puchwein and the Sherwood-Relics collaboration Dark matter could be made up of ultralight dark photons that ...

Astronomers have imaged a spectacular thread in the cosmic web, connecting two actively forming galaxies that existed when the universe was just 2 billion years old. Both galaxies at hand are home ...

Much remains a mystery about the first billion years of the universe’s history, the epoch in which the cosmos emerged from its dark ages with the dawning of the earliest stars and galaxies. Now ...

In a recently published study, astronomers using South Africa’s MeerKAT radio telescope have identified what could be the largest rotating object ever observed in space. The object itself is a vast ...

A simulation of the ‘cosmic web’, the vast network of threads and filaments that extends throughout the Universe. Stars, galaxies, and galaxy clusters spring to life in the densest knots of this web, ...
