Frontier Supercomputer Simulates Universe with Unmatched Complexity
The Frontier supercomputer at Oak Ridge National Laboratory has conducted the most detailed universe simulation to date. Using the Hardware/Hybrid Accelerated Cosmology Code (HACC) under the U.S. Department of Energy’s Exascale Computing Project, the model incorporates dark matter, gas, and plasma interactions. With speeds reaching 1.4 exaFLOPS, ...

Euclid Space Telescope Discovers Rare Einstein Ring, Revealing Dark Matter Secrets
The Euclid space telescope has detected a rare Einstein ring around galaxy NGC 6505, located approximately 590 million light-years from Earth. This phenomenon, resulting from gravitational lensing, allows scientists to study the distribution of dark matter within the lensing galaxy. The discovery aligns with Euclid's mission to map cosmic structure...

New Cosmic Surveys Reveal Unexpected Clues About Universe’s Evolution
A new study published in the Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics reveals a potential discrepancy in the expected clumpiness of cosmic structures. Researchers from the University of Pennsylvania and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory analysed data from the Atacama Cosmology Telescope (ACT) and the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (...

Vera C. Rubin Observatory to Detect Millions of Exploding Stars
The Vera C. Rubin Observatory, set to begin its 10-year Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST) later this year, will track millions of Type Ia supernovae to advance our understanding of dark energy. These supernovae, resulting from white dwarf stars in binary systems, will be studied in detail to provide crucial data on the universe’s acceleratin...

Coma Cluster’s Distance Closer Than Predicted, Amplifying Hubble Tension Crisis
A new study led by Dan Scolnic and Adam Riess reveals that the Coma Cluster is 38 million light-years closer than predicted by standard cosmological models, intensifying the ongoing Hubble tension. This discrepancy, involving measurements of type Ia supernova explosions, challenges the universe's expansion rate as predicted by the Hubble–Lemaîtr...

NASA Rockets Set to Journey Through Flickering, Disappearing Auroras
NASA is set to launch two groundbreaking rocket missions in January 2025 to unravel the mysteries of auroras. The GIRAFF mission will study fast-pulsating and flickering auroras, while the Black and Diffuse Aurora Science Surveyor mission will focus on dark auroral patches or "black auroras." By using advanced instruments to measure electron activi...

New Study Uncovers Discrepancies in Universe’s Expansion Rate, Challenges Cosmology Models
A recent study has revealed inconsistencies in the universe's expansion rate, further challenging established cosmological models. Measurements from the Hubble Space Telescope, James Webb Space Telescope, and the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) indicate that the universe is expanding at varying speeds. This discrepancy raises critical q...

NSF NOIRLab's Dark Energy Camera Showcases Stunning View of Antlia Cluster’s Galaxies
The Antlia Cluster, located approximately 130 million light-years away in the Antlia constellation, has been imaged in remarkable detail by the Dark Energy Camera. This cluster, home to over 230 galaxies, features a variety of types including lenticular, irregular, and dwarf galaxies. Observations suggest that the two dominant elliptical galaxies, ...

NASA Successfully Integrates Telescope and Instruments for Roman Space Mission
NASA has successfully integrated the telescope and instruments for the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope, marking a major step towards its 2027 launch. The mission will explore dark energy, exoplanets, and other cosmic phenomena with state-of-the-art instruments like the Wide Field and Coronagraph instruments. The payload has been assembled at the ...

James Webb Telescope Breaks Record with Discovery of Early Galaxies Dating 200 Million Years After Big Bang
The James Webb Space Telescope has spotted five galaxy candidates dating back to 200 million years after the Big Bang. These findings could transform our understanding of early cosmic evolution. Discovered via gravitational lensing, these galaxies, if confirmed, predate known formations and offer vital insights into the universe’s infancy. Scient...

Einstein’s Theory of Relativity Passes Its Biggest Test After Observations From Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument
A new study by the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) suggests dark energy might not be constant over time, potentially altering cosmological models. Conducted at the Kitt Peak National Observatory, the project’s 3-D galaxy map highlights the role of dark energy in shaping the universe’s expansion. Researchers found evidence that dark ...
