Cosmological models are largely settled on the structure of the very early universe which, moments after the big bang, could be modelled as a smooth, homogeneous fluid.

Two teams have studied the extremely bright and young galaxy GN-z11, existing when the universe was only around 430 million years old.

There are three primary techniques for studying binary star systems. The first technique, direct imaging, allows astronomers to visually resolve both stars in the binary system when they are sufficiently separated.

Earth's geology is uniquely characterised, within the solar system, by its layered differentiation and active plate tectonics, facilitating ongoing crustal recycling.

A team of researchers at the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory part of the centre for Astrophysics | Harvard & Smithsonian have detected an extremely powerful eruption from a young star.

Theories about the first black holes suggest they formed shortly after the Big Bang, either as "heavy seeds" born from the direct collapse of massive gas clouds or as smaller "light seeds" from the remnants of early stars
