Serving nine UC campuses and two national laboratories, Lick Observatory continues to be at the forefront of groundbreaking ...

A new approach suggests that a tiny spin of the universe throughout space might reconcile those conflicting numbers. If the ...

Astronomers have made a detection suggesting biosignatures, or signs of biological activity, on an exoplanet located 124 ...

The rotating model, which does not break any known law of physics, suggests the universe could spin around once every 500 billion years. This would be far too slowly to detect easily, but enough to ...

Astronomers have detected the most promising signs yet of a possible biosignature outside the solar system, although they remain cautious.

A new study suggests the universe may rotate -- just extremely slowly. The finding could help solve one of astronomy's biggest puzzles.

Ostriker is responsible for groundbreaking discoveries that forever changed the way astronomers think about what the universe ...

Before Einstein, special relativity, and E = mc2, what was the prevailing theory on the Sun's seemingly eternal energy?

New research has revealed that the cosmological model developed by Nicolaus Copernicus, the renowned European Renaissance ...

IFLScience traveled to CERN to get an exclusive insight into the crucial theory of particle physics, its limitations, and ...

Two groups in Kolkata related to astronomy have created what they claim to be the largest handmade telescope in the city — a 14.5-inch f/5 Dobsonian that is low-cost, powerful, and easy to handle.

One of the great things about astronomy is that it's full of surprises, especially when it comes to comets — you just can't predict when a new one might pop up. But when one does appear ...
