Gravitational distortions produced by distant galaxies show a slight—but notable—disagreement with Einstein's predictions.

Gravity is the only major force in the universe that doesn’t fit into our current quantum framework, driving the pursuit of a ...

But a strong gravitational field throws classical predictions off. Einstein postulated three ways this theory could be proved. One was by observing the stars during a total solar eclipse.

New observations suggest that the universe’s oldest galaxies are brighter than expected. Here's why this may be a big deal.
