Dark Matter

"Dark matter is an enigmatic form of matter not expected to emit light, yet it is essential to understanding how the rich tapestry of stars and galaxies we see in the night sky evolved." https://phys.org/news/2025-10-astronomers-lowest-mass-dark-gravitational.html

Lowest mass Dark Matter

"Using a global network of telescopes, astronomers have detected the lowest-mass dark object yet found in the universe."https://www.ucdavis.edu/news/astronomers-find-mystery-dark-object-distant-universe?utm_source=join1440&utm_medium=email&utm_placement=newsletter&user_id=66c4c92f5d78644b3ac5d5b4

Mass of the Universe

"Calculating the total mass of the universe is not simple, because most of the mass is invisible."https://www.astronomy.com/science/how-is-the-total-mass-of-the-universe-calculated/?utm_source=join1440&utm_medium=email&utm_placement=newsletter&user_id=66c4c92f5d78644b3ac5d5b4

Clouds Chambers

"Invented in 1911, cloud chambers like this one were among the first devices used to study high-energy particles called cosmic rays, believed to come from exploding stars called supernovas."https://www.exploratorium.edu/exhibits/cloud-chamber?utm_source=join1440&utm_medium=email&utm_placement=newsletter&user_id=66c4c92f5d78644b3ac5d5b4

Map of Universe

"The new map of the Universe’s expansion history released by the DESI Collaboration offers hints at a breakdown of the standard model of cosmology."https://physics.aps.org/articles/v18/130

31/ATLAS

"A team of astronomers has attempted to track the path of interstellar object 3I/ATLAS back into the past, tracing its path through the galaxy in simulations involving over 13 million stars."https://www.iflscience.com/interstellar-object-3iatlas-may-be-a-10-billion-year-old-time-capsule-from-an-earlier-age-of-the-universe-81077

Computation of Volume of Universe

"The amplituhedron is a geometric shape with an almost mystical quality: Compute its volume, and you get the answer to a central calculation in physics about how particles interact."https://www.quantamagazine.org/origami-patterns-solve-a-major-physics-riddle-20251006/

Atoms

"Here on planet Earth, everything that we see, feel, or interact with is composed of atoms. There are approximately 90 naturally occurring species of atom that we can find on Earth, and approximately 30 more that we can synthesize under laboratory conditions."https://bigthink.com/starts-with-a-bang/atom-lost-original-meaning-science/?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=swab

Universe effect

"When you view anything at all in the Universe, you’re not seeing it precisely as it is right now: at the moment you experience seeing it."https://bigthink.com/starts-with-a-bang/earth-across-universe/?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=swab

NASA plans for Future

"For the past 60+ years, the name NASA has been synonymous with humanity’s vision to dream about horizons far beyond the bounds of our terrestrial worries."https://bigthink.com/starts-with-a-bang/thousands-nasa-employees-bid-farewell/?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=swab

31/ATLAS

"3I/ATLAS will begin its pass by the Red Planet Wednesday and will be closest on Friday — reaching just over 18.5 million miles away, according to the European Space Agency."https://nypost.com/2025/09/30/world-news/manhattan-sized-interstellar-object-3i-atlas-approaches-mars-as-space-agencies-rush-to-make-observations/
