Some mind-blowing discoveries about the cosmos since Kepler’s launch

Significant advancements have been made in space exploration since the launch of the Kepler telescope way back in 2009. Kepler's primary assignment is to search for habitable planets beyond our solar system, and its extraordinary competences allow it to identify

We Might Bump Into Life Just Under the Surface on Europa

What is needed to have life at another world? Astrobiologists inform you need warmth, water, and something for life to consume. If life is there, it’ll leave signs of itself in the form of organic molecules named amino acids. Now,

A new discovery sheds light on the geneses of matter in the early universe

The early cosmos was 250,000 times hotter than the core of our sun. That's far too hot to form the neutrons and protons that make up everyday matter. Researchers recreate the conditions of the early cosmos in particle accelerators by

Why an Infrared observatory is key to seeing the first stars?

Why is a potent infrared observatory crucial for seeing the first stars and galaxies that formed in the cosmos? Why on earth do we even want to see the first stars and galaxies that formed? One simple reason is... we

Roman Space Telescope of NASA Will Illuminate Cosmic Dawn

Today, vast stretches of space are crystal clear, but that wasn’t the case always. During its early stages (infancy), the cosmos was filled with a “fog” that made it opaque, cloaking the first galaxies and stars. NASA’s forthcoming Nancy Grace

Technically, We Shouldn’t Be—But ‘Cosmic Ghosts’ Deep Underground Could Divulge Why We’re Here

The DUNE neutrino detector will try to ascertain why matter overwhelmed antimatter in the early cosmos. One of the greatest basic mysteries of the universe is why it’s occupied with anything at all. That’s because the Big Bang, the incident

Is the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST)capable of seeing galaxies over the universe’s horizon?

Since it started sending data back to Earth in 2022, JWST has significantly impacted astronomy, and one of its most revolutionary accomplishments is the observation of some of the most distant galaxies ever seen. But, because light doesn't travel instantly

Warp Drives Could Push Gravitational Waves Through The Cosmos

Will future humans employ warp drives to explore the universe? We're in no position to jettison the possibility. But if our distant progenies ever do, it definitely won't involve dilithium crystals, and Scottish twangs will have evaporated into history by

The unexpected behavior of pulsing stars could help us measure the universe

Studying pulsing Cepheid stars provides a cosmic yardstick to measure the cosmos. New research offers the most accurate measurements yet of pulsating Cepheid stars, which may hold inklings about the enormous size and scale of our universe.Cepheids are a sort

New Simulation Explains how SMBHs Grew so Quickly

One of the key scientific goals of next-generation observatories (like the JWST) has been to observe the first galaxies in the Cosmos – those that existed at Cosmic Dawn. This epoch is when the first stars, galaxies, and black holes
