One of the James Webb Space Telescope's science goals is to understand how galaxies in the early universe formed and evolved into much larger galaxies like our own Milky Way. This goal requires that ...

In 1929 Edwin Hubble published the first solid evidence that the universe is expanding. Drawing upon data from Vesto Slipher and Henrietta Leavitt, Hubble demonstrated a correlation between galactic ...

Recent announcements from the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) team have shown galaxies in the very early universe are far more advanced, mature, and evolved than they ought to be. But that might be ...

Redshift‐space distortion analysis examines how the peculiar velocities of galaxies—motions arising from the gravitational growth of structure—alter their apparent clustering when distances are ...

Stephen has degrees in science (Physics major) and arts (English Literature and the History and Philosophy of Science), as well as a Graduate Diploma in Science Communication. Stephen has degrees in ...

In astronomy, where distances are too vast to measure with an ordinary ruler, geometry has long been the workhorse. Now, a new study has turned that ancient mathematical language into a precision tool ...
