Dark energy

Dark energy, long thought to drive the accelerating of the expansion of the universe, may not exist, according to a groundbreaking study.

The research, based on enhanced light-curve analysis of "type Ia supernovae," suggests the universe expands in a "lumpy" and uneven manner rather than uniformly.

Dark Energy is causing our universe to expand but we still don’t know why – It will stretch the cosmos so much that one day no one will see stars

The Euclid space telescope, on a mission to chart the elusive dark universe, has captured its first images, revealing countless galaxies and a nearby nebula

Scientists on Nov. 7 unveiled the first pictures taken by the European space telescope Euclid, a shimmering and stunning collection of galaxies too numerous to count.

The photos were revealed by the European Space Agency, four months after the telescope launched from Cape Canaveral.

A European space telescope blasted off Saturday on a quest to explore the mysterious and invisible realm known as the dark universe.

Europe's Euclid space telescope is scheduled to blast off Saturday on the first-ever mission aiming to shed light on two of the universe's greatest mysteries: dark energy and dark matter.

The launch is planned from Cape Canaveral in Florida at 11:12 am local time (1512 GMT) on a Falcon 9 rocket of the US company SpaceX.
