New Study Finds Hercules-Corona Borealis Great Wall Bigger and Nearer Than Thought
GRBs uncover a more massive and closer Hercules–Corona Borealis Great Wall, reshaping cosmic scale theories.Astronomers have found that the Hercules–Corona Borealis Great Wall—the largest known structure in the universe—is even larger and closer than previously thought. Spanning 10 billion light-years, this immense cluster of galaxies was t...

NASA’s SPHEREx Mission Sends First Space Images Before Full Sky Survey
NASA’s SPHEREx telescope has captured its first images from space, marking a critical milestone before its full-sky infrared survey begins. The observatory, launched on March 11, recorded thousands of light sources, including distant galaxies and stars. Unlike other space telescopes, SPHEREx is designed for large-scale cosmic mapping, scanning th...

New Research Suggests Dark Energy Is Evolving, Challenging Cosmology Models
New research from the DESI project suggests that dark energy, once thought to be a constant force, may actually be changing over time. This challenges long-held cosmological models that assume a stable influence of dark energy on the universe’s expansion. By mapping 15 million galaxies, DESI’s data raises new questions about cosmic evolution. S...

ESA’s Euclid Telescope Releases First Data, Mapping 26 Million Galaxies
ESA’s Euclid telescope has released its first dataset, mapping 26 million galaxies within a week. The observations include deep-field images, a survey of 380,000 galaxies, and 500 new gravitational lens candidates. Scientists will continue tracking cosmic evolution over six years. The dataset, currently 35 terabytes, is expected to grow to 2 peta...

NASA Delays SPHEREx and PUNCH Missions Due to SpaceX Vehicle Checks
NASA’s planned launch of the SPHEREx and PUNCH missions aboard a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket has been postponed. Originally set for March 8 at Vandenberg Space Force Base, the launch was delayed as SpaceX conducts additional vehicle checkouts. SPHEREx will focus on mapping the universe using infrared light, while PUNCH will examine solar wind and coro...

Scientists Discover Hidden Clues to the Dark Universe in 3D Galaxy Maps
A breakthrough study has revealed new insights into the "dark universe," which consists of dark matter and dark energy. By using a novel technique called field-level inference (FLI), scientists have discovered previously hidden details in 3D galaxy maps. This method preserves the three-dimensional nature of the data, unlike traditional compression ...
