A team of scientists has predicted the science return from one of NASAEstablished in 1958, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) is an independent…
SISSA scientists provide the first simulation of neutron starA neutron star is the collapsed core of a large (between 10 and 29 solar masses) star.…
The Cosmic Microwave Background (left) was released 380,000 years after the Big Bang, and it acts as a background to all galaxies in the Universe.…
A slice through the 3D map of galaxies from the first few months of the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI). The Earth is at the…

The Roman Space Telescope is a NASA observatory designed to unravel the secrets of dark energy and dark matter, search for and image exoplanets, and…
About 25 years ago, astrophysicists noticed something very interesting about the Universe. The fact that it was in a state of expansion had been known…
Dark energy, the mysterious force that causes the universe to accelerate, may have been responsible for unexpected results from the XENON1T experiment, deep below Italy’s…
