Radio Signal from Early Universe May Reveal the Masses of the First Stars
A newly modelled 21-centimetre radio signal from hydrogen atoms just 100 million years after the Big Bang may reveal the mass of the universe’s first stars. Using REACH and the upcoming SKA telescopes, researchers aim to uncover how early starlight shaped cosmic evolution during the Cosmic Dawn, when the universe transitioned from darkness to lig...

NASA’s Chandra Spots Unexpectedly Strong Jet from Distant Black Hole at Cosmic Noon
NASA’s Chandra telescope has spotted two powerful black hole jets from over 11.6 billion light-years away. Detected during the universe’s cosmic noon, these jets reveal rare high-speed behaviour boosted by Big Bang remnants. The findings, which factor in relativistic effects, shed new light on early black hole growth and will be published in Th...

Astronomers Discover Most Powerful Cosmic Explosions Since the Big Bang
Astronomers have discovered extreme nuclear transients — rare and powerful explosions caused by stars being torn apart by supermassive black holes. These events, brighter and longer-lasting than supernovae, were observed using data from Gaia and ZTF. As the most energetic cosmic outbursts since the Big Bang, they offer valuable insights into blac...

Dark Energy May Not Be Constant - How This Discovery Can Change Science
The great Russian physicist and Nobel laureate Lev Landau once remarked that "cosmologists are often in error, but never in doubt". In studying the history of the universe itself, there is always a chance that we have got it all wrong.

What Is Dark Energy? The Mystery Behind The Expanding Universe
Dark energy makes up roughly 70 percent of the universe, yet we know nothing about it. Around 25 percent of the universe is the equally mysterious dark matter, leaving just five percent for everything that we can see and touch.

Water May Have Formed in the Universe 100 Million Years After Big Bang
A new study suggests water formed in the universe just 100–200 million years after the Big Bang, much earlier than previously estimated. Researchers examined ancient supernovas to understand how oxygen combined with hydrogen to create water. If confirmed, these findings could change perspectives on when the conditions for life first emerged. The ...

SPHEREx Space Telescope to Map Cosmos in Infrared Light, Launching in February 2025
Set to launch in February 2025, NASA’s SPHEREx mission will provide a comprehensive map of the universe in infrared light. The telescope will examine 450 million galaxies and 100 million stars, shedding light on the universe’s formation, early conditions after the Big Bang, and the presence of water in planetary systems. SPHEREx will survey the...

Early Supernovas Could Have Created Water in the Universe, Paving the Way for Life 100 Million Years Post-Big Bang
A recent study suggests that supernova explosions, triggered by the death of early stars, could have created significant amounts of water just 100 million years after the Big Bang. Simulations of these early, massive stars show that their explosive deaths may have resulted in the formation of water molecules within the dense hydrogen and oxygen clo...

NASA’s Webb Telescope Reveals Firefly Sparkle, a Milky Way-Like Galaxy
The James Webb Space Telescope has captured the Firefly Sparkle galaxy, existing 600 million years after the Big Bang. This rare discovery showcases a galaxy similar in mass to the Milky Way during its early years. Unprecedented details were revealed using gravitational lensing and infrared imaging, highlighting 10 distinct star clusters within Fir...
