“We can only see a short distance ahead, but we can see plenty there that needs to be done.” -Alan Turing The Cosmic Microwave Background data gave us an unprecedented picture of our Universe in terms of accuracy, with the latest Planck results showing us our Universe is 68% dark energy, 13.8 billion years old and is expanding at a rate of 67 km/s/Mpc. Too bad, then, that the Cosmic Microwave Background isn't the only way to measure the expansion rate, and that direct measurements -- using the cosmic distance ladder -- disagree with that significantly.
Elena D’Onghia has spent her career puzzling over the behavior of the Milky Way’s closest neighbors, the dwarf galaxies known as the Magellanic Clouds.Their story is an epic tale of twirling streams of gas larger than humans can really imagine. But,
Is the Milky Way galaxy typical or special? Australian astronomers have tackled this question by taking a detailed cross-section of a galaxy very similar to
