Our galaxy and its neighbours are racing through space at more than two million kilometres an hour, caught in a tug-of-war between the gravity of distant superclusters ahead and a vast, near-empty void shoving us from behind
You are sitting still, more or less, but the galaxy beneath you is not. The Milky Way and…
Scientists use Einstein’s equations to reveal what came before the Big Bang
Some of the hardest questions in cosmology begin where the usual math gives up. Push Einstein’s theory far…

In 2002 astronomers averaged the light of 200,000 galaxies and announced the universe was pale turquoise — then traced the color to a software error and corrected it to a beige they nicknamed cosmic latte
The universe is the color of weak coffee In 2002 two astronomers at Johns Hopkins University, Karl Glazebrook…
Physicists discover the upper limit of electrical resistance in metals
Electrical resistance is easy to notice and hard to pin down. Power lines shed energy as heat, and…
