Determining distances beyond the Milky Way underpins our understanding of cosmic expansion, galaxy evolution and the scale of the Universe. A range of methods, often referred to collectively as the ...

A cosmic measurement technique independent of all others adds strong evidence pointing to a problem with the current theoretical model describing the composition and evolution of the Universe. A new ...

One of the major problems in astronomy is measuring very large distances in the universe. The current most common methods measure relative distances, but now research from the Niels Bohr Institute ...

Cosmologists have found a way to double the accuracy of measuring distances to supernova explosions - one of their tried-and-true tools for studying the mysterious dark energy that is making the ...

Despite a century of measurements, astronomers can’t agree on the rate at which the universe is expanding. A technique that relies on measuring distances to a specific type of aging star in other ...

Arguably one of the most famous dimensionality reduction algorithms of today is t-distributed stochastic neighbor embedding (t-SNE). Although being widely used for the visualization of scRNA-seq data, ...

A new international analysis published in the Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society reinforces one of modern ...
