Dark matter is a hypothetical invisible mass, which is responsible for the force of gravity among galaxies and other celestial bodies. Although researchers don’t have any concrete information about this puzzling entity, they did come up with a number of intriguing theories about this enigmatic mass. Following is a list of 5 dark matter theories…
The brightest quasar in the history of the universe was observed at a distance of 12.8 billion light-years. Scientists are now studying light that has been around since the beginning of time. An observation from Gemini Observatory found a distant quasar with the brightest radio emission ever detected. Astronomers were able to see the light…
Several signs indicate that our universe is filled with dark matter but humanity is just not good enough to view the unknown form of matter, at least until now. The material that makes up 85% of the universe is called the Dark Matter. It is believed that the dark matter is made up of materials…
Milky Way is 0.96 trillion times heavier than our Sun. Scientists have for decades tried to measure the Milky Way, a task made tedious by Earth’s position within it. Being on the outskirts of the galaxy, the inability to see it completely limits the ability to gauge its mass. The galaxy’s core houses the bulk…
The electromagnetic radiation and light from wormholes might help in determining the shape of this exotic object. Any mathematical model which merges three dimensions of space with the one dimension of time to produce a single 4-dimensional continuum is called Space-time. This phenomenon is closely associated with Wormholes, a speculative structure that could create shortcuts…
Scientists might have found the self-regulating mechanism of galaxies. Continuous advancements in technology enable humanity to go deep into space. A couple of months back, astronomers found the brightest object (a quasar) ever discovered in the universe at a distance of 13 billion light years. Before that, Icarus (the most distant star) was also detected.…
Exoplanets are heavenly bodies beyond our solar system where life could be possible. The search for signs of life in the outside world took humans beyond our solar system and a lot of planets, orbiting different stars, were found there. They are called Exoplanets as they are located outside our solar system. They come in…
Scientists have seen Icarus, the farthest star ever seen, through Hubble Space Telescope The Hubble Space Telescope was launched in 1990 by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). It is the most versatile telescope that has ever been sent to space and that’s the reason why it has solved so many mysteries. One of…
Neutron Stars smashed into each other to produce gravitational waves. The universe around us full of amazing phenomena and the advancement in technology has revealed some of them. Concepts like dark matter, distant stars, and supernova are some of the popular space explorations. Similarly, the in-depth study of different planets of our solar system has…
