When we look out at the Universe, even with Hubble, we're only seeing the closest, biggest, brightest galaxies. Here's where the rest are.

Physics demands that it couldn’t be any other way. Here’s why. Ask anyone — even someone with no background in science — to name something that Einstein did, and odds are they’ll come back with […]
Previously, only the brightest and most active galaxies could pierce the obscuring wall of cosmic dust. At last, normal galaxies break through.
Are quantum fields real, or are they simply calculational tools? These 3 experiments show that if energy is real, so are quantum fields.
“It doesn’t erase what happened to you. It just changes the impact it has on your life.”
The majority of the matter in our Universe isn't made of any of the particles in the Standard Model. Could the axion save the day?
For centuries, men prevented women from writing music. These classical composers broke with social norms and made their mark on history.
In 1990, we only knew of the ones in our Solar System. Today, we know of thousands, and that's just the tip of the iceberg.
Is history decided by discernible laws or does it unfold based on random, unpredictable occurrences?
If argumentation led to nothing, it would soon be thrown into the evolutionary dustbin.
Like sneaking veggies into dessert, these board games teach STEM, strategy, and executive functions through the joys of play.
From the present day all the way to less than 400 million years after the Big Bang, we're seeing how the Universe grew up like never before.
Just 12 million light-years away, the galaxies Messier 81 and 82 offer a nearby preview of the Milky Way-Andromeda merger.
New blood types are regularly discovered by an unusual absence or an unusual presence — both of which can result in tragedy.
Hubble's deepest views of space revealed fewer than 10% of the Universe's galaxies. James Webb will change that forever.
We haven't seen a partial eclipse lasting this long since 1440, and won't again until 2669. North America is perfectly positioned for 2021's.
They are expected to be cheaper to build and even more reliable than today’s nuclear plants.
There are ~400 billion stars in the Milky Way, and ~2 trillion galaxies in the visible Universe. But what if we aren't typical?
A few years ago, the first dark matter-free galaxies were announced, and then immediately disputed. Now, there are too many to ignore.
Hubble, our greatest space-based observatory today, is just the beginning. The Hubble Space Telescope has been astronomy’s most revolutionary observatory in history. The stars and galaxies we see today didn’t […]
For 550 million years, neutral atoms blocked the light made in stars from traveling freely through the Universe. Here's how it then changed.
Often viewed as a theoretical, calculational tool only, the Lamb Shift proved their existence. If you spend enough time listening to theoretical physicists, it starts to sound like there are […]
Hybrid working, robot fast food workers, and the rapid acceleration of NFTs are just the beginning.
Even with all the recent impacts we've seen, it might be more "foe" than "friend" to us.
From high school through the professional ranks, physicists never tire of Newton's second law.
Each year in mid-August, Earth plows through the debris stream of an enormous comet, creating the Perseids. 2023's show will be magnificent!
Some question the ethics of sanctions aimed at cancelling Russian art and culture and punishing ordinary citizens.
If it weren’t for a subatomic quantum rule, our Universe would be vastly different. In many ways, our views of the distant Universe are the closest things we’ll ever get […]
The highest-energy particles of all come from space, not human-made colliders. When it comes to the most energetic particle collisions of all, you might think that the Large Hadron Collider […]
