Faster-Than-Predicted Universe Expansion Deepens 'Hubble Crisis'
Recent measurements show the universe is expanding faster than predicted by current models, creating a 'Hubble crisis' due to conflicting results from direct observations and cosmic microwave background analysis; a new study of the Coma galaxy cluster intensifies this discrepancy.

Big Bang vs. Black Hole: Similarities, Differences, and Unanswered Questions
The Big Bang theory, supported by observations of expanding galaxies, describes the universe's evolution from an initial singularity; while this resembles a black hole, key differences exist, and the origins of the singularity remain unknown.

Cosmic Rotation: Not Everything Spins
Celestial bodies like planets and stars rotate, often inheriting spin from their formation. However, not all structures, such as cosmic filaments, rotate; galaxies form through matter aggregation in a rotating plane, unlike filaments. Subatomic 'spin' is not actual rotation.

Hubble's 1924 Discovery Expands the Universe
In 1924, Edwin Hubble used the Hooker telescope at Mount Wilson to discover that the Andromeda and Messier 33 galaxies are outside the Milky Way, drastically expanding our understanding of the universe's size, building upon Henrietta Leavitt's work on Cepheid variable stars and ultimately leading to...
