A recent study investigates two enigmatic interstellar objects discovered through observations with the ALMA telescope (Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array) and the AKARI satellite. These bodies, hidden behind dense clouds of gas and dust, could represent a previously unknown type of interstellar object. The research, led by astrophysicist Takashi Shimonishi and his team, raises fundamental questions […]

Astronomers Discover Inkathazo, an Intriguing Giant Galaxy 32 Times the Size of the Milky Way
Recently, a team of astronomers made an extraordinary discovery: a new giant radio galaxy (GRG) named Inkathazo, detected using the MeerKAT telescope located in South Africa. This cosmic structure, measuring an astonishing 3.3 million light-years from end to end, has captured the scientific community’s curiosity not only for its size but also for the peculiarities […]
Mysterious “Ghost Galaxies” Created at the Dawn of the Universe Stopped Forming Stars Millions of Years Ago
Astronomy, always seeking the deepest mysteries of the cosmos, has taken a significant new step with the discovery of three ultra-faint dwarf galaxies. This breakthrough, the result of collaboration between powerful telescopes in Chile and an international team of scientists, sheds light on events in the early Universe that influenced star formation in the smallest […]
Carbon atoms and other elements found to circulate in giant streams in the universe
Carbon, the building block of life on Earth, owes its existence to the fiery crucibles of stars. Alongside elements like oxygen and iron, carbon is forged in the intense nuclear reactions of stars and subsequently scattered across the universe when these stars meet their end in spectacular supernova explosions. These elements are not static wanderers […]
The Name of the Iberian Goddess Linked to the Cult of the Planet Venus, Toward Which Her Temples Were Oriented, Revealed
A team of researchers led by Daniel Iborra Pellín, from the University of Alicante, has presented new evidence about the name and worship of the Iberian Dea Mater, the chief female deity of the Iberians during the Iron Age. According to the study published in the journal Complutum, this deity, a symbol of fertility and […]
Scientists Claim Dark Energy does not Exist, and Accelerated Expansion of Universe is an Illusion Caused by Gravity slowing down time
For decades, dark energy has been one of the most enigmatic concepts in physics, introduced to explain the accelerated expansion of the Universe. This mysterious force, often described as an “antigravity” effect, was thought to make up approximately 70% of the Universe’s total energy density. However, new research challenges this assumption, proposing a groundbreaking explanation […]
New Observations from the James Webb Telescope Confirm There’s “Something” Accelerating the Universe’s Expansion, but We Don’t Know What It Is
New observations from the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) delve into a mystery that has puzzled cosmologists for more than a decade: the so-called Hubble tension, which refers to the discrepancy between measurements of the universe’s current expansion rate and predictions based on standard cosmological models. These findings suggest that the faster expansion of the […]
How the Nebra Sky Disc, the First Known Portable Astronomical Instrument, Was Manufactured in the Bronze Age Revealed
The Nebra Sky Disc, over 3,600 years old, is considered a globally significant discovery and has been part of UNESCO’s Memory of the World Program since 2013. This bronze disc, one of the most extensively studied archaeological objects to date, astonishes not only for its design and astronomical symbolism but also for the technical enigmas […]
The Most Powerful Cosmic Rays Detected Come from Several Points Near Our Solar System
The universe is a stage filled with extreme phenomena, where temperatures and energies reach unimaginable levels. In this context, there are objects such as supernova remnants, pulsars, and active galactic nuclei that generate charged particles and gamma rays with energies far exceeding those involved in nuclear processes like fusion within stars. These particles, as direct […]
The Laws of Gravity Could Be Different on a Cosmic Scale, Potentially Explaining the Mystery of the Universe’s Accelerated Expansion
The mystery of the universe’s accelerated expansion remains one of the great enigmas of modern physics. Twenty-five years ago, scientists discovered that the universe is expanding at an increasingly rapid rate, a phenomenon for which no definitive explanation has yet been found. Understanding this acceleration involves testing the fundamental laws of physics, particularly Albert Einstein’s […]
