SN 2014C's Unexpected Transition and U-Shaped Circumstellar Material
An international team's study of supernova SN 2014C, located 40–45 million light-years away in the NGC 7331 galaxy, revealed its unexpected transition from type Ib to type IIn supernova, caused by the progenitor star shedding its hydrogen layer before exploding, leaving a U-shaped circumstellar mate...

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.
