Dark energy mystery is finally SOLVED - as scientists come up with a radical new theory to explain the mysterious force

Dark energy, one of the most mysterious concepts in astronomy, has baffled the world's greatest minds for decades. Lead author professor David Wiltshire says: 'Our findings show that we do not need dark energy to explain why the Universe appears to expand at an accelerating rate.' Scientists claim to have solved the mystery of dark energy by showing why we …

LA Times

Anyone who has attempted to breach the magnetically charged ring of ice around a Capricorn knows that their association with their planetary ruler, Saturn, could never be a coincidence. The planetary rings aren’t just a testament to the gravitational pull of the power that comes from pain — they’re also a crown, meant to honor and create protective distance. It’s …

Juno Mission sheds light on Jupiter's volcanic moon Io

India TV News

NASA's Juno mission has made an exciting discovery about Io, one of Jupiter’s moons known for its incredible volcanic activity. Researchers have found that Io’s volcanoes are not connected to a huge underground sea of molten rock, as previously thought. In 2023 and 2024, Juno spacecraft flew close to Io and collected important information about the moon’s gravitational field. One …

Nasa discovers seven new mysterious dark comets that we know very little about

India Today

Researchers have made a groundbreaking discovery in the field of astronomy with the identification of seven new "dark comets," celestial objects that resemble asteroids but exhibit comet-like behavior. The concept of dark comets emerged from observations of asteroid 2003 RM in 2016, which displayed unexpected orbital deviations that could not be explained by typical asteroid dynamics. While dark comets do …

Isro's AstroSat catches never-before-seen nuclear explosion in Andromeda Galaxy

India Today

For the first time, astronomers have detected far-ultraviolet emissions from novae — sudden, bright explosions on stars—during their outbursts in the Andromeda galaxy, our closest large galactic neighbour. Using data from the Ultraviolet Imaging Telescope aboard ISRO’s AstroSat satellite, the researchers identified ultraviolet emissions from 42 novae, including four caught in the act of erupting. “UVIT’s unique ability to observe …

To map the vibration of the universe, astronomers built a detector the size of the galaxy

Raw Story

Using the largest gravitational wave detector ever made, we have confirmed earlier reports that the fabric of the universe is constantly vibrating. The results from our detector – an array of rapidly spinning neutron stars spread across the galaxy – show this “gravitational wave background” may be louder than previously thought. The high-frequency gravitational waves created by collisions between relatively …

The Mystery of How Supermassive Black Holes Merge

Wired

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. When galaxies merge, the supermassive black holes that sit in their centers must eventually merge, too, forming an even more gargantuan black hole. For decades, though, a question has vexed astrophysicists: How can supermassive black holes get close enough to spiral together and coalesce? These gravitational waves most likely come …

Indian Ocean has a giant gravity hole. We didn't know how it formed until now

India Today

Scientists have unraveled the enigma behind the Indian Ocean's massive "gravity hole," a phenomenon that has puzzled researchers for over seven decades. Researchers utilised advanced computer modeling to simulate Earth's geological processes over the past 140 million years, finally shedding light on this perplexing gravitational anomaly. Approximately 20 million years ago, these sunken fragments reached the lower mantle, displacing high-density …

When the 'God of Chaos' asteroid flies by our planet in five years, Earth's gravity could cause it to experience 'astroquakes,' scientists have predicted. Their research suggests that when the asteroid Apophis - named for the Egyptian God of Chaos - passes within just 19,000 miles of Earth, our planet's gravitational pull will cause it to violently shake.
