"Atlas Of The Universe" : NASA Unveils New Roman Space Telescope To Probe Mysteries Of Dark Matter
Roman, which took more than $4 billion and over a decade to build, is named after astronomer Nancy Grace Roman, who developed the landmark telescope.

New Study Predicts Cosmic ‘Big Crunch’ Could End Everything in 20 Billion Years
New research suggests the Universe’s expansion could eventually reverse, leading to a dramatic “Big Crunch.” By analyzing dark energy survey data, scientists propose expansion may stop in about 11 billion years before contraction begins. The model predicts a final cosmic collapse roughly 20 billion years from now, though uncertainties remain ...

Dark Matter May Not Exist, Study Suggests Gravity Works Differently at Cosmic Scales
A new theoretical study suggests dark matter may not exist, proposing instead that gravity behaves differently across vast cosmic distances. By modifying how gravity weakens over scale, the research explains galaxy rotation and lensing effects without unseen particles, raising questions about long-standing cosmological models and inviting a fresh l...

James Webb Space Telescope Finds Most Distant Galaxy Ever Detected
The James Webb Space Telescope has discovered MoM-z14, the most distant galaxy ever observed, dating to just 280 million years after the Big Bang. The galaxy’s brightness, chemical richness, and structure challenge existing theories of early cosmic evolution. Scientists say the finding highlights a growing gap between models and observations of t...

JWST Uncovers the Origins of the Universe’s First Supermassive Black Holes
James Webb Space Telescope observations reveal that the earliest supermassive black holes formed from massive gas clouds collapsing directly into heavy seeds. This process bypassed normal star formation, allowing black holes to reach millions of solar masses within just 200–500 million years after the Big Bang, solving a long-standing cosmic myst...

James Webb Space Telescope Spots Most Distant Galaxy That Existed 280 Million Years After Big Bang
MoM-z14's light has travelled over 13.5 billion years to reach Earth, the scientists have revealed.

CERN Experiments Confirm Early Universe Behaved Like a Near-Perfect Fluid
Physicists at CERN have directly observed fluid-like behaviour in the quark–gluon plasma that filled the early universe. Experiments at the Large Hadron Collider revealed wake-shaped ripples forming behind fast-moving quarks, similar to bow waves in liquids. These quark wakes confirm that the primordial “soup” of quarks and gluons behaved as ...

James Webb Helps Astronomers Chart the Universe’s Hidden Dark Matter
Astronomers have created the sharpest map yet of dark matter using deep observations from NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope. By analysing the gravitational distortion of hundreds of thousands of distant galaxies, the team traced invisible dark matter across a large region of the sky. The results confirm that dark matter forms the scaffolding arou...

NASA’s Chandra Observatory Reveals 22 Years of Cosmic X-Ray Recordings
NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory has released an expanded source catalogue spanning 22 years of observations, covering around 400,000 cosmic X-ray sources. The dataset captures high-energy events across the universe, from black holes to stellar remnants, and can be combined with Hubble and James Webb data. Scientists say it offers an unprecedente...

Scientists Search the Big Bang’s Afterglow for Signs of Colliding Parallel Universes
Some physicists argue our universe may be just one bubble in a much larger multiverse. Inflation theory suggests countless universes can form, each with different physical laws, while quantum mechanics allows branching realities. This idea could explain why cosmic constants appear finely tuned for life. However, other universes may be fundamentally...
