Our journey to comprehend the Universe’s edge begins with the concept of the observable Universe. This term refers to the ...
The spectrum is so vast that it dates back 13.7 billion years to a bright tie-dyed-esque line that shows an actual photo of the edge of the observable universe.
There’s a point in the universe where no light, no signal, and no matter can reach us — or so we thought. Galaxy clusters are drifting in one direction, as if pulled by something beyond our ...
It means the observable size of the universe is around 93 billion light-years. Our cosmos came into existence after the Big Bang 13.7 billion years ago. Ever since the universe has kept expanding.
Astronomers at Johns Hopkins University have created an interactive map of the universe, charting the positions and colors of 200,000 galaxies stretching from here to the very edge of the ...
At the edge, we see the leftover glow from the Big Bang — the so-called cosmic microwave background radiation (CMB). But this isn’t some magical edge of the universe. Our cosmos keeps going.
The announcement said that Astronomer Maarten Schmidt of Caltech had discovered a quasar (quasi-stellar radio source) racing away from earth at 80% of the speed of light. That brief observation ...
The edge of the observable universe is about 270,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 miles away.. If you drive at a steady 65 miles per hour, it will take you 480,000,000,000,000,000 — that’s 4.8 × ...
This marks the edge of the observable Universe, and while you might think that means the Universe is 26 billion light-years across, thanks to cosmic expansion, it is now closer to 46 billion light ...
In all directions in space, we can detect the cosmic microwave background (CMB). This is the leftover radiation from around 400,000 years after the universe began, that is faintly detectable and ...
