The scientists at the European Organization for Nuclear Research, known as CERN are getting ready to see the universe born again. Again and again and again — 30 million times a second, in fact, as they hope to unlock the secrets of the universe and its building blocks. picked by 2manyusernames 3 years ago

Perhaps the first stars in the newborn universe did not shine, but instead were invisible “dark stars” 400 to 200,000 times wider than the sun and powered by the annihilation of mysterious dark matter. The study calculated how the birth of the first stars almost 13 billion years ago might have been influenced by the presence of dark matter – the unseen, yet-unidentified stuff tha... read full post picked by AutumnLotus 2 years ago

When astronomers think about the Big Bang, in general they don’t actually mean that one singular moment when the Universe burst into being. It’s really the name given to the model used to describe what happened an infinitesimally thin slice of time after that moment. picked by mariusz712 3 years ago

'Dark energy', which researchers have spent years trying to fathom, isn't necessary to explain our universe after all, according to a new solution to Einstein's theory of general relativity. picked by leopoldogolba 2 years ago

Mathematicians have proposed an alternative explanation for the accelerating expansion of the universe that does not rely on the mystifying idea of dark energy.

According to the new proposition, the universe is not accelerating, as observations suggest. Instead, an expanding wave flowing throughout space-time causes distant galaxies to appear to be accelerating away from us. picked by AutumnLotus 7 months ago

A furious rate of star formation discovered in a distant galaxy shows that galaxies in the early universe developed either much faster or in a different way from what astronomers have thought. The galaxy is forming the equivalent of 4,000 Suns a year. This is a thousand times more violent than our own Milky Way galaxy. picked by AutumnLotus 2 years ago

Finnish sci-fi parody Star Wreck: In the Pirkinning. The feature length film tells the funny and somewhat tragic story of Emperor Pirk's conquest of the universe. It was released in 2005 under a Creative Commons licence and since become one of the most watched Finnish movies ever.

World's most powerful telescopes opened its shutters for the first time Friday to begin exploring faint light from distant parts of the universe. The Gran Telescopio Canarias, a euro130 million ($185 million) telescope featuring a 34-foot (10.4-meter) reflecting mirror, sits atop an extinct volcano. Its location above cloud cover takes advantage of the pristine skies in the Atlantic Ocean. picked by Bingo 8 months ago
