Astronomers Identified a Star that made its Partner go Supernova
SN 2015cp, a supernova at a distance of 545 million light-years, was triggered by a companion star which marked the death of its partner in the binary system. Supernovae are quite common because all the stars of the universe eventually run out of fuel and die with a massive explosion. Having said that, there…
Strange Fluid with Negative Mass could Dominate the Universe
A unified dark fluid of negative masses could be spread everywhere in the universe. According to an estimate of scientists, there are billion trillion stars in the universe. Despite that, all the matter that we can see accounts for only 5% of the universe. An invisible form of matter named as ‘Dark Matter’ (alongside Dark…
The Search for Dark Matter has been Now Redefined
A recent study that took place at Lund University in Sweden, alongside some other studies, has presented effective means to probe Dark Matter which accounts for 85% of the universe. A number of recent studies have aided in the better discernment of large volumes of data present at CERN (European Organization for Nuclear Research) which…
The Story Behind the Oldest Stars and Galaxies is now Revealed
Scientists discover the secrets of Cosmic Reionization through simulations. It is a part of human nature to question how everything around us came into being. That’s the reason why scientists have always been pretty keen to discover the events related to the birth of our universe. The theory of Big Bang is the most popular…
Higgs Boson Might Have Saved Our Universe from a Cosmic Collapse
Dark energy is much more complex than you think. Scientists have always been uncertain about the expansion of the universe. One of the theories suggests that it will continue to expand forever. On the other hand, some scientists believe that a time will come when it will collapse into a tiny speck. Timm Wrase, a…
The universe is Expanding at an Unknown Rate
Cosmologists fail to determine an expansion rate of our universe following a disagreement among two latest sets of precise measurements. It is a well-known fact that our universe is expanding since its beginning but the pattern of this expansion always had some mysteries attached to it. Probably the strangest fact about our universe is that…
A CubeSat Mission will study the Hot Gas surrounding the Milky Way
HaloSat will help scientists to understand whether the missing mass of the universe lies inside galactic halos or not. Humanity is exploring every dimension of the universe in order to know more and more about our surroundings. The amount of ‘normal matter’ is very less when compared with the total volume of space around us.…
NASA measured the Expansion Rate of Universe
The change in the value of Hubble Constant gives a brand new expansion rate of the universe. Our universe consists of a variety of bits and pieces we classify as planets, stars, meteors, and celestial objects. These are the puzzle pieces that fit together to form a universe. However, how did the universe generate? The…
NASA is going to create the Coldest Place in the Universe
The coldest place in the universe might unveil the mysteries of Gravity and Dark Energy. Antarctica. The iciest place in this world having the lowest temperature between -80°C to -85°C. To subsist in such an extreme weather certain precautions are to be taken. Humans require specific environmental and atmospheric conditions to survive on this planet…
Aliens might exist in a Parallel Universe
Scientists are failing to find signs of extraterrestrial life in our universe but it is nothing to worry about as latest research reveals that aliens could be waiting for us in a parallel universe. Humans are pretty determined to find intelligent life somewhere in the universe other than the Earth. Scientists have invested sufficient time…
Could there be Planets made from Dark Matter?
Is possible for planets to be created by dark matter? Everything that is visible to us lies under the category of original matter. Earth, sun, moon, stars, and galaxies all consists of that. The most surprising discovery of the 20th century, in view of many renowned scientists, was that the baryonic matter makes only 5%…
