Cosmos

Astronomers have discovered some of the most extreme primordial quasars in the universe. The findings aim to uncover clues about the formation of the first galaxies and supermassive black holes during the dawn of the cosmos.

The largest digital camera on Earth has begun filming a motion picture of the universe. This marks the start of a significant cosmic census.

The article explores the possibility of a dark dimension connecting dark energy and dark matter, which together account for approximately 95% of the universe. Dark energy, making up about 70%, drives cosmic expansion, while dark matter, comprising 25%, helps maintain galaxy structure.

The article discusses how the electromagnetic spectrum, first understood in part by Isaac Newton, continues to be a tool for astronomers to explore the cosmos. Astrophysicist Emma Chapman examines how these invisible waves might reveal new cosmic insights and potentially indicate we are not alone.

A Cosmos-based Gravity Bridge was drained of $5.4 million through suspected key compromise. The attacker stole USDC, ether, tether, and PAYG tokens, with some funds laundered via ChangeNow and Binance.

The article features a space photo of the day from May 27, 2026, showcasing four bright yellow laser beams extending from the bottom left to the top right against a starry background. The image highlights cosmic laser beams, possibly representing astronomical phenomena or advanced technology in space exploration.

Cycles, a multilateral clearing startup founded by a Cosmos co-founder, has raised $6.4 million in a funding round led by Blockchange Ventures with participation from Coinbase Ventures. The new funding brings Cycles' total funding to $8.7 million.

Black holes colliding with stars may be causing mysterious blue flashes in space. An illustration shows a black hole triggering a bright blue blast after colliding with a Wolf Rayet star. This phenomenon is being studied to understand its origins.

The LayerZero exploit on KelpDAO resulted in a $290–300 million loss due to compromised cross-chain messaging, highlighting risks in centralized verifier setups. Solana developers emphasize building trust-minimized interoperability via IBC Solray to avoid such vulnerabilities, enabling direct chain verification without external bridges.
