A strange form of viscous dark matter, which accounts for most of the matter in the universe, could have a surprising effect on its early evolution - and mdash; and make ripples from the Big Bang easier to detect

Galaxies are scattering 9 percent faster than previously thought.The universe is expanding. This is known. It is not known why it is expanding faster than it should be. That is, one speed is obtained from the calculations, and the observations demonstrate another - increased

This was in the early 1990s. The Carnegie Observatory in Pasadena, California, is empty for the Christmas break. Wendy Friedman, alone in the library, was working on a huge and thorny problem: the rate of expansion of the universe

Once we discovered that the universe was expanding. After that, the next scientific step was to determine the speed or rate of this expansion. More than 80 years have passed, but we still have not agreed on this issue

The famous astrophysicist, professor at Harvard University Avi Loeb recently came up with a rather fantastic hypothesis that shifted the onset of biogenesis to the infancy of the Universe: he believes that individual islands of life could arise when B

Have you ever wondered what would happen if the moon were the same distance from our planet as the International Space Station?

I don't quite understand you, - said the Engineer. - You are talking about an artificial universe. Can you do it? Close space and time around a particular mass? Are you kidding me?

As long as humanity exists, so much and it tries to understand the structure of the universe

Since the 1990s, scientists and space program managers have noticed that some spacecraft experience unexpected speed changes during their orbits around the Earth

Periodically, information appears that ruins of some buildings, traces of people and animals, various artifacts have been found on Mars … As a rule, enthusiasts manage to "see" them in the images transmitted to the Earth by vehicles

The climate of Mars at the very beginning of its history - subject of fierce controversy. Was the Red Planet warm and humid or cold and snowy? New study published in Icarus supports the latter

Using a new method and data from the Gaia Space Telescope, astronomers from the University of Toronto calculated the speed at which the Sun orbits around the center of the Milky Way, as well as how far our star is from the center of galaxies

In the distant and not very clear future, the solar system may "move" from one galaxy to another - - according to astrophysicists. Which suggested that Andromeda could become the new home of our star system. How so?

An analysis of the distribution of near-Earth objects, carried out using the DECam camera mounted on the 4-meter Blanco telescope of the Inter-American Observatory Cerro Tololo, located in Chile, showed that the number of near-Earth objects with the size

Revealing the properties of other worlds in our solar system, we gradually realize that the Earth is unique

Scientists believe that the Tarsis volcanic plateau shifted the axis of Mars 20-25 degrees 3.5 billion years ago. This phenomenon explains many of the mysteries of the Red Planet

American and Canadian astronomers have presented new confirmation of general relativity. The corresponding study will be published in the journal Science, briefly reported by the Embry-Riddle Aviation University (USA)

Observations of the already discovered exoplanets helped scientists to find out that the probability of the formation of large and small planets in different stars is not random and depends on how many elements are heavier than hydrogen and helium, the star contains, the stat

A group of scientists from Queens University in Belfast, Northern Ireland, and the Max Planck Institute for Solar System Research, Germany, decided to test how well the Earth is visible to possible representatives of other civilizations trying to observe

A new analysis of lunar rock samples showed that the likelihood of the presence of water reserves on the moon is small. This conclusion is consistent with popular hypotheses for the formation of an Earth satellite

The Fermi Space Telescope team has found dark galaxies in the sky with no stars, but dark matter smoldering. The discoverers do not yet believe in the find, and it is impossible to independently verify their results - where the candidates are, scientists do not disclose

Every year, they scare us several times with the end of the world. One of the main reasons for a possible apocalypse is the collision of a huge asteroid with the Earth

Ufologists - special scholars who go further in their convictions than the Christian inquisitors of the Middle Ages

Recognized ufologist, conspiracy theorist and virtual archaeologist George Graham, host of the popular YouTube channel Streetcap1, has delighted his subscribers with a new amazing find

Videographer Henning Kemner recently stumbled upon a Facebook post on a round UFO page and found a very, very strange picture. In his video, Kemner asks what it could be

The stormy life of space objects is full of surprises. Asteroids and comets fall on planets, and the planets themselves sometimes collide with each other

After reading the title, you probably thought that something is wrong here. But what - star, universe or something else?

"The Earth is the cradle of humanity." Everyone knows the continuation of this phrase by Tsiolkovsky: "… but you can't live in the cradle forever." Today his words have become the most replicated epigraph to articles on the conquest of space

Every day we have a choice: to take our life, our existence, freedom and moments for granted, or to express gratitude and gratitude for the good things that surround us

The red planet haunts the numerous army of virtual ufologists who regularly detect a variety of fantastic objects in the images of the surface of Mars

How the Evpatoria Space Communications Center works. Scientists are not going to give up the idea of finding life outside our planet. On the contrary, they take various methods of detecting representatives of other civilizations in the Universe

At what technological level was the civilization that once existed on Mars? Reputable ufologist Scott K is seriously concerned about this issue

The mysterious object was photographed by American astronauts during the Apollo 8 expedition The triangle was discovered by an unknown virtual archaeologist who examined archival images from the Apollo 8 spacecraft

This planet was noticed by ancient astronomers in the XIV century BC. True, due to its proximity to the Sun and rapid movement across the sky, they took it for two celestial objects and gave different names

Methane - it is one of the markers of the presence of life, and therefore astronomers pay special attention to its search. Scientists recently discovered that there was no trace of methane left in the atmosphere of Mars - - although a couple of years ago they were

Stephen Hawking has published a new article on the theory of black holes, in which he and his colleagues refute the "no hair theorem" for black holes and describe how information escapes from it

The recent discovery of gravitational waves from the Big Bang that gave birth to our universe has triggered its waves in astrophysicist and cosmological circles

Astronomers, using the ASKAP radio interferometer, nicknamed the "Eye of Sauron", have detected fast radio bursts of a rare type, the source of which is unknown. Reported by the Daily Mail

The reserves of ice, which can be used by future colonizers of Mars, under the surface of the Red Planet are sufficient to fully meet the needs of the space mission in water
