Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. A massive study of the cosmic web reveals that even ultra-weak magnetic fields from the early Universe helped shape the stars and ...

Primordial magnetic fields, billions of times weaker than a fridge magnet, may have left lasting imprints on the Universe. Researchers ran over 250,000 simulations to show how these fields shaped the ...

York University and an international team of astrophysicists have made an ambitious attempt to simulate the formation of galaxies and cosmic large-scale structure throughout staggeringly large swaths ...

Pictures are the key to new insights in the field of astrophysics. Such images include simulations of cosmic events, which astrophysicists at UZH use to investigate how stars, planets and galaxies ...

A simulation of the ‘cosmic web’, the vast network of threads and filaments that extends throughout the Universe. Stars, galaxies, and galaxy clusters spring to life in the densest knots of this web, ...

A research team from the University of California, Santa Cruz, have used the Oak Ridge Leadership Computing Facility's Summit supercomputer to run one of the most complete cosmological models yet to ...

The JWST COSMOS-Web result, published in The Astrophysical Journal on May 6, 2026, traced the cosmic web by cataloguing 164,000 galaxies and placing them within the large-scale structure across cosmic ...

Cold gas does not look dramatic at first glance. Neither does dust. Yet those two quiet ingredients sit at the center of a new effort to build a far more realistic picture of how galaxies formed. They ...
