New strategies may soon allow scientists to test dark energy theories within our own solar system, linking cosmic-scale physics to local observation. Science advances through a cycle of proposing ...

The Dark Energy Camera on the Víctor M. Blanco 4-meter Telescope at Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory in Chile captured ...

The universe's expansion may be accelerating faster than previously thought. Dark energy, a mysterious force, might not be constant but could be changing over time. Multiple independent studies show ...

Dark energy is one of the most mysterious features of our universe – we don’t know what it is, but it controls how the universe is expanding, as well as its ultimate fate. Now, a study of millions of ...

Evidence of this quantum layer may be coming soon. Here’s what you’ll learn in this story: Physicists are still puzzling over ...

The new data seem to indicate that the cosmological constant is negative, and that the universe will end in a Big Crunch,” ...

If recent discoveries that dark energy is evolving hold any water, our Universe will collapse under its own gravity on a ...

In 2024 a shockwave rippled through the astronomical world, shaking it to the core. The disturbance didn’t come from some astral disaster at the solar system’s doorstep, however. Rather it arrived via ...

Astronomers have discovered asteroid 2025 SC79, a skyscraper-sized space rock orbiting the sun in just 128 days. the ...

DESI maps distant objects to study dark energy. The instrument is installed on the Mayall Telescope, shown here beneath star trails. The fate of the universe hinges on the balance between matter and ...

Astronomers discover 2025 SC79, the solar system's second-fastest asteroid, hiding in the Sun's glare. Learn why these ...
