A new effort to map the rumblings in spacetime caused by enormous black hole collisions paints a surprisingly loud and lopsided picture of the universe.

“You can navigate through the most detailed map of the universe from the comfort of your own home,” explains Jean-Paul Kneib, director of LASTRO. “It’s the chance to travel through ...

An international study led by astronomers from Swinburne University of Technology has created the most detailed maps of gravitational waves across the universe to date. The study has also produced ...

The most detailed map of the universe ever created using gravitational waves could reveal hidden black holes, merging supermassive black holes and even the large-scale structure of the cosmos.

Researchers have released the most accurate map ever produced of the dark matter in our Universe. The team surveyed more than 26 million galaxies in the largest study of its kind. The map will ...

Behold the hot, energetic Universe. A German-Russian space telescope has just acquired a breakthrough map of the sky that traces the heavens in X-rays. The image records a lot of the violent ...

Scientists have constructed the largest 3-D map of our universe to date, and it's come with a couple of interesting surprises. "So far, we're seeing basic agreement with our best model of the ...

One reason it is hard to learn the geography of the local universe is that it is 3-D. A map, as a 2-D object, is easy to spread out on a table so you can learn 2-D relationships between places.

Large galaxy surveys are attempting to measure millions of galaxies and map their distribution in space. We are only beginning to learn and explore the geography of the universe. Let's get going.

A decade ago, astronomers observed gravitational waves for the first time. What has emerged since is a picture of the universe as a vast ocean – dark and powerful.

Using the MeerKAT telescope in South Africa, a team of researchers from Australia has produced the most detailed map of gravitational waves across the universe. It took not just one but three studies ...

Scientists have confirmed earlier reports that the fabric of the universe is constantly vibrating. The background rumble is ...
