12 Mysteries of Deep Space That Science Is Still Trying to Solve

Suhail Ahmed

  Far beyond the glow of city lights, the universe is staging dramas so extreme that our best telescopes can barely keep up. Astronomers are catching flashes, shadows, and subtle ripples in spacetime that hint at unseen forces and unknown physics, yet each new discovery seems to raise more questions than it answers. From galaxies ...

12 Mysteries of the Universe That Astrophysicists Are Still Trying to Solve

Suhail Ahmed

  The deeper we look into the universe, the stranger it becomes. Every new space telescope image, every gravitational wave detection, every particle collision seems to answer one question while quietly smuggling in three more. Astrophysicists are mapping black holes, measuring the echo of the Big Bang, and tracking stars that move like bullets through ...

What Is Dark Matter and Why Can’t We See It

Suhail Ahmed

  Imagine looking up at a clear night sky and realizing that almost everything you see is, in a sense, a cosmic decoy. The glittering stars, glowing nebulae, and whole galaxies make up only a tiny fraction of what is actually out there. Astronomers now think that most of the universe is built from something ...

Dark Matter and the Hidden Universe: New Frontiers in Astrophysics

April Joy Jovita

The universe is vast and mysterious, with over 85% of its mass composed of an invisible substance known as dark matter. Unlike ordinary matter, dark matter does not emit, absorb, or reflect light, making it challenging to study directly. Scientists continue to delve deeper into this enigma, uncovering its role in cosmic phenomena and the ...

Scientists Think the Universe Has a Mirror Twin

Jan Otte

Ever looked into a mirror and wondered about the world on the other side? What if that world wasn’t just a reflection but an entire universe running backwards through time? This strange idea isn’t from science fiction anymore. It’s becoming one of the most fascinating theories in modern cosmology, challenging everything we thought we knew ...

The Dark Energy Puzzle That Defies Physics

Gargi Chakravorty

Imagine a mysterious force making up approximately 68% of everything that exists, yet remaining completely invisible and impossible to directly detect. This isn’t science fiction – it’s one of the greatest puzzles in modern physics, a cosmic enigma that’s keeping scientists awake at night and challenging everything we thought we knew about the universe. Dark ...

Beneath the Ice: Antarctica Emits Mysterious Radio Pulses That Shouldn’t Exist — Are They Clues to Dark Matter?

Jan Otte

Deep under Antarctica’s frozen surface, something unworkable is happening. Scientists have found odd radio pulses from below the ice signals that violate accepted physics rules. Captured by instruments floating eighteen miles (29km) above the continent, these enigmatic emissions seem to start at angles thirty degrees below the surface, a path that should be physically impossible. ...
