The image looks almost like a cosmic painting, but the strange structures reveal a process that could eventually produce entirely new worlds. The telescope did not photograph the literal…
James Webb Telescope Just Confirmed a Cosmic Mystery That Physics Cannot Explain
For decades, astronomers believed they were steadily building a complete understanding of the cosmos. Every new telescope, every deep space observation, and every scientific breakthrough seemed to bring humanity closer to answering some of the universe’s biggest questions. Researchers felt increasingly confident that the fundamental laws governing cosmic expansion were well understood. That confidence was…
How a 27-Year-Old Rewrote the Story of the Universe Section
Adam Riess helped build one of the most important scientific theories of the last century. His measurements changed how physicists understand the cosmos, earned him a Nobel Prize in Physics, and shaped the story humanity tells itself about how everything ends. Now he wants to tear that story apart. At 55, Riess sits in his…
Astronomers Say Asteroid 2024 YR4 Could Trigger the Most Energetic Lunar Impact Ever Recorded
Astronomers are rarely given the luxury of time when it comes to cosmic events. Most asteroid impacts happen without warning, either burning up in Earth’s atmosphere or striking distant worlds long before humans had the tools to notice. That is why Asteroid 2024 YR4 has generated such intense scientific interest. It is not because the…
