An array of 350 radio telescopes in the Karoo desert of South Africa is getting closer to detecting "cosmic dawn"—the era after the Big Bang when stars first ignited and galaxies began to bloom.

Researchers aim to study the universe’s 'Dark Ages' using a quiet orbit around the Moon. Their small satellite will search ...

The dwarf galaxies are believed to be around 12 billion years old, meaning their stars formed early in the universe's history, under 2 billion years after the Big Bang.

Astronomers discovered a large haul of massive galaxies from the early universe. The find is surprising, and may prompt a rethink of how large galaxies form.
