The telescope and scientific instruments for NASA’s Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope have been successfully integrated at the Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland. The integration marks a significant step in the mission’s development, as the payload will soon be connected to the spacecraft. According to NASA officials, this milestone ensures the observatory is … Read more
The mystery surrounding the Hubble tension has intensified following new findings indicating that the Coma Cluster of galaxies is 38 million light-years closer than predicted by standard cosmological models. The Hubble tension refers to a persistent discrepancy between the universe’s expansion rate as measured in the modern era and the rate predicted based on observations … Read more
A major scientific breakthrough is anticipated with the Vera C. Rubin Observatory, currently under construction on Cerro Pachón in Chile, as it prepares to embark on its decade-long Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST). Scheduled to commence this year, this endeavour is expected to detect millions of Type Ia supernovae, commonly referred to as … Read more
New research examining data from two major cosmic surveys indicates that the universe may have evolved in a way that is more complex than previously thought. A team led by Joshua Kim and Mathew Madhavacheril at the University of Pennsylvania, in collaboration with researchers from Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, analysed data from the Atacama Cosmology … Read more
The European Space Agency’s Euclid space telescope has released its first significant dataset, offering a deeper look into the universe’s large-scale structure. The mission, focused on investigating dark matter and dark energyhas already produced an extensive catalogue of cosmic observations. Over 26 million galaxies have been mapped within the first week of data collection, including … Read more
