“You may hate gravity, but gravity doesn’t care.” –Clayton Christensen If all we had were galactic rotation curves -- like those measured by Vera Rubin -- we would know that something was wrong with our picture of the Universe, but we wouldn’t know how. Two equally good explanations, that there was either a flaw in the law of gravity or there was the existence of some unseen mass, could account for what we saw. But observations of galaxy clusters point to dark matter in a dramatic fash...

The awesome, confounding James Webb Space Telescope observations scientists are scrambling to make sense of.

Harry Waters, the son of Roger Waters, was fired by his dad but is playing Pink Floyd music in a tribute band.

Aside from the telescope, the most important invention for the field of astronomy was the camera. With a camera, astronomers no longer had to rely on the

Galaxy - Galaxy - Evolution, Quasars, Structure: The study of the origin and evolution of galaxies and the quasar phenomenon has only just begun. Many models of galaxy formation and evolution have been constructed on the basis of what we know about conditions in the early universe, which is in turn based on models of the expansion of the universe after the big bang (the primordial explosion from which the universe is thought to have originated) and on the characteristics of the cosmic microwave ...

The first batch of data from the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument is now available for researchers to explore. Taken during the experiment’s “survey validation” phase, the data include distant galaxies and quasars as well as stars in our own Milky Way.

The universe is big, and its getting bigger. To study dark energy, the mysterious force behind the accelerating expansion of our universe, scientists are using the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) to map more than 40 million galaxies, quasars, and stars. Today, the collaboration publicly released its first batch of data, with nearly 2 million objects for researchers to explore.

“There are two problems for our species' survival - nuclear war and environmental catastrophe - and we're hurtling towards them. Knowingly.” ―Noam Chomsky
