What Is Dark Energy? The Mystery Behind The Expanding Universe
Dark energy makes up roughly 70 percent of the universe, yet we know nothing about it. Around 25 percent of the universe is the equally mysterious dark matter, leaving just five percent for everything that we can see and touch.

Atacama Telescope Reveals Most Detailed Cosmic Microwave Background Yet
New images from the decommissioned Atacama Cosmology Telescope offer the most detailed view of the cosmic microwave background. The data reveals early cosmic structures, tracks primordial gas movement, and refines estimates of the universe’s total mass. While supporting existing models, it does not resolve the Hubble tension. Researchers are now ...

Weak Gravitational Lensing Examines Universe’s Structure: What You Need to Know
The universe's large-scale uniformity is under scrutiny through weak gravitational lensing. Researchers are analysing data from the Euclid Space Telescope to detect potential anisotropies in cosmic expansion. If confirmed, these findings could challenge the fundamental Cosmological Principle, which assumes the universe has no preferred direction. T...

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...

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...

Webb Telescope Tracks Formation and Expansion of Carbon-Rich Dust Shells in Star System
As per the latest report by NASA, the system consists of two stars in an elongated orbit. When these stars come closest, their stellar winds collide, compressing material and forming carbon-rich dust. As reported in an official press release by NASA, Emma Lieb, a doctoral student at the University of Denver and the study's lead author, noted that t...

Amazon and Universal Music Group Expand Partnership to Address ‘Unlawful AI-Generated Content’
Amazon and Universal Music Group (UMG) announced the expansion of their partnership on Monday. Among other topics, the two entities highlighted that the collaboration will focus on the advancement of artist-centric principles including increased fraud protection. While both the companies had a collaborative agreement in place, the new partnership e...

Scientists Conclude They Have No Idea Why Universe Is Growing The Way It Is
Scientists cross-checked data from JWT and Hubble and concluded the mismatch in data could only be explained by a new phenomenon.

Study Claims Black Holes Could be Driving Universe's Expansion
A new study proposes that black holes could hold the key to dark energy, which fuels the accelerating expansion of the universe. Using the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI), astronomers observed a possible correlation between the growth of black holes and an increase in dark energy. The study's co-authors, Gregory Tarlé and Duncan Farrah...

Milky Way Could Be Part of a Much Larger Cosmic Structure, Possibly Linked to the Shapley Concentration
A new study reveals that the Milky Way might be part of a much larger cosmic structure known as the Shapley Concentration, which is up to ten times larger than the previously identified Laniākea Supercluster. This finding challenges our understanding of the galaxy’s position in the universe and could mean that Laniākea is just an outer section ...
