Scientists planning on "Playing God" in order to re-create the birth of the Universe. picked by Neiako 2 years ago

Recently, two groups of astronomers were able to see two classes of unique galaxies from the early universe. One group glimpsed galaxies that looked old even when the universe was young, suggesting they must have been some of the first galaxies to form after the birth of the universe. The other group found galaxies dating from the strongest burst of star formation in the universe. picked by AutumnLotus 5 months ago

Did the universe have a beginning? The Steady State theory vs. The Big Bang. Albert Einstein, Georges Lemaître, Fred Hoyle, Arno Penzias and Robert Wilson. picked by shredtone 2 years ago

We are all submerged in a sea of undetectable particles left over from the first few seconds of the big bang, according to the latest observations from a NASA satellite. The Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP) has confirmed the theory that the universe is filled with a fluid of cold neutrinos that remain almost entirely aloof from ordinary matter. picked by AutumnLotus 6 months ago

Galaxies tend to give birth to their stars on the road, while travelling down intergalactic highways towards cosmic cities called galaxy clusters, new Spitzer Space Telescope observations reveal. Galaxies in relatively empty regions of the universe flock towards densely populated galaxy clusters, attracted there by the clusters' gravity. picked by AutumnLotus 7 months ago

A controversial analysis questions the standard model of the early universe.
Could the Big Bang have come not at the beginning of the universe, but after a long, slow period of shrinkage? picked by mutil8or 4 months ago

Two NASA scientists put forward a new model to explain how the cosmos is and where it might be going. They say it is necessary to take account of startling recent discoveries such as the observation that everything in the Universe is moving apart at an accelerating rate. Paul Steinhardt and Neil Turok propose that the cosmos goes through an endless cycle - of Big Bang, expansion and stagnation - d... read full post picked by AutumnLotus 10 months ago

Astronomers may have unwittingly hastened the end of the Universe by simply looking at it, according to a theory reported. The novel idea is being aired by two US physicists, who attack the notion that the universe, believed to have been created in the "Big Bang'' some 13.7 billion years ago, will go on, well, forever. picked by AutumnLotus 9 months ago

When astronomers think about the Big Bang, in general they don’t actually mean that one singular moment when the Universe burst into being. It’s really the name given to the model used to describe what happened an infinitesimally thin slice of time after that moment. picked by mariusz712 1 year ago

Long before our solar system formed and even before the Milky Way assumed its final spiral shape, a star slightly smaller than the Sun blazed into life in our galaxy, formed from the newly scattered remains of the first stars in the universe. picked by AutumnLotus 1 year ago

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Scientists said on Wednesday that they have found the most distant galaxy yet, nearly 13 billion light-years away, in a discovery that could help explain how stars were formed at the dawn of time. picked by Galoot 2 years ago

They call her Mother for a reason. When the five-year Hereford gave birth over and over and over again Sunday, she beat long odds and accomplished what few beef cows do -- she had given birth to quadruplets. picked by AutumnLotus 12 months ago

(plus 9 runner-ups) Some really interesting findings happened this year. Polynesians coming to the Americas before Europeans, 2000 year old highways in Ireland, 2300-year old solar observatory, more details on our ancestors and more. picked by 2manyusernames 8 months ago
