Strange physics at the edges of black holes could help solve the ongoing ‘Hubble problem’

The universe’s expansion rate is accelerating across the cosmos, driven by a mysterious force known as dark energy, but perhaps this acceleration isn’t happening at the boundaries of black holes, new research suggests. Rather than implying that dark energy does not move around the boundaries of black holes, this idea suggests that this mysterious force… Read More »

The Hubble telescope has switched to single-gyroscope mode after months of technical problems, an aerospace engineering expert has revealed

Imagine pointing a laser beam at a penny 200 miles away. Now imagine riding the carousel and doing so for 24 hours straight. Does it seem difficult? In fact, this is what the Hubble Space Telescope does. After months of technical problems, NASA announced on June 4 that Hubble would switch to single gyro mode.… Read More »
