A team of British scientists has just conducted a series of stringent tests, confirming the long-held assumption that the universe has no direction. According to them, the universe is not moving in any particular direction and is actually quite uniform, despite appearing clustered at smaller scales. Our basic knowledge says that planets revolve around stars to…
New research on fast radio burst (FRB) has finally solved the long-standing mystery of “missing matter” in the universe. The breakthrough comes as part of another study, in which scientists for the first time have managed to determine the exact location of a fast radio burst taking place in a faraway galaxy. It was conducted…
With the help of three NASA observatories, a team of scientists has attempted the near-impossible task of calculating the mass of a ginormous galaxy cluster, formed around 3.8 billion years after the creation of the universe. Situated 10 billion light-years away from Earth, the cluster, named IDCS J1426.5+3508 (or IDCS 1426), has been found to weigh…
The scale of the observable universe is large enough to be impractical for a visual depiction in a geometrical manner. However artist Pablo Carlos Budassi has taken on the challenge by its horns with his fascinating work that encompasses the entirety of the known universe in a single image. Now of course, he eschewed geometrical…
A team of geochemists at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) have determined from evidences that precious life on Earth started at least 4.1 billion years. This incredible scope of life pertains to hosts of ancient microorganisms in what is presently the landmass of Western Australia. And if this credible hypothesis is confirmed than…
