The recent detection of a cosmic explosion by the Einstein Probe is stirring excitement among space watchers everywhere.

New research suggests that dark energy isn't needed to explain the acceleration in the expansion of the universe — instead ...

Einstein Probe's Wide-field X-ray Telescope (WXT) detected a burst of low-energy X-rays. Astronomers call such X-rays "soft," ...

Measurements of the distance to the Coma Cluster of galaxies find that it is millions of light years closer than the standard ...

a hypothesis known as the 'tired light' theory suggested that light loses energy during its long cosmic journeys, leading to the redshift. However, as it failed to explain numerous observations ...

In a distant part of the universe, where astronomy uncovers the mysteries of creation, an extraordinary discovery has been ...

Drawing upon data from Vesto Slipher and Henrietta Leavitt, Hubble demonstrated a correlation between galactic distance and redshift. ... We now know this is due to cosmic expansion. Space itself ...

"This is how you solve the universe-breaking problem." ...

As the light was shifted towards the red end of the spectrum (lower frequency/longer wavelength) this phenomenon was termed 'redshift'. Figure caption, Lower diagram shows spectrum of light ...
