New data confirms a puzzling rift in the universe's expansion rate.
It's one of the fundamental universal features -- and we're still struggling to understand it.
A massive breakthrough in astrophysics might enable us to finally determine the rate at which the universe expands.
A metal poor star located in the Milky Way galaxy, “just” 190 light years away from our Sun is 14.46+-0.80 billion years old – nearly as much as the age of the Universe! All stars follow a stellar evolutionary path; by knowing some parameters about the star (such as mass, luminosity, and surface temperature), astronomers […]
The Universe is in constant expansion, which is why it is commonly said to be infinite, so basically one can measure all he wants and still won’t find out how big the Universe is. An accurate measurement of this rate of expansion, however, is critical for space observations, and a young Australian student has recently […]
