Tiny Galaxies Unmasked as Cosmic Renovators by Webb

They’re tiny, they’re ancient—and they cleared the cosmic fog. NASA’s Webb just uncovered the galaxies that gave the universe its light.

Earth-Based Telescopes Peek Into the Universe’s First Light

Tiny Earth-based telescopes just did the impossible: they captured the first light of the universe, offering a new look at our cosmic origins.

Cosmic Joust Reveals Quasar’s Power to Kill Star Formation

Astronomers have captured a galactic “joust” 11 billion light-years away. One galaxy wields a quasar like a weapon, blasting its opponent and halting star formation—a cosmic clash with lasting implications.

How Massless Particles May Have Transformed into Dark Matter

A Dartmouth theory suggests dark matter was born when light-speed particles suddenly condensed and became heavy—leaving a mark we might soon detect.

When the Universe Wiggles

A new study proposes a groundbreaking way to detect gravitational waves — by watching distant quasars “wiggle” in the sky — potentially unlocking the three-dimensional nature of spacetime ripples and rewriting what we know about gravity.
