In a million years, constellations will vanish, stars like Betelgeuse will explode, and humanity may no longer exist. This ...

The largest-ever three-dimensional map of the cosmos, plotting out some 15 million celestial objects, could help reveal the ultimate fate of the universe. Astrophysicists know that the universe is ...

If that’s the case, it could have major implications for the ultimate fate of absolutely everything. Previously, the most plausible scenario for the end of the universe was that dark energy ...

As the universe expands, the density of both regular and dark matter drops, while more and more dark energy manifests. To study the ultimate long-term fate of the universe, the researchers ignored ...
