Dirty Space and Supernovae (2/29/2008)

Interstellar space may be strewn with tiny whiskers of carbon, dimming the light of far-away objects. This discovery by scientists at the Carnegie Institution may have implications for the "dark energy" hypothesis, proposed a decade ago in part to explain the unexpected dimness of certain stellar explosions called Type1a supernovae. ...> Full Article

New Light on Dark Energy (2/1/2008)

New Light on Dark EnergyAstronomers have used ESO's Very Large Telescope to measure the distribution and motions of thousands of galaxies in the distant Universe. This opens fascinating perspectives to better understand what drives the acceleration of the cosmic expansion and sheds new light on the mysterious dark energy that is thought to permeate the Universe. ...> Full Article


Powerful new sky surveys to explore dark energy, Milky Way Galaxy, giant planets (1/13/2008)

A team of scientists have announced the beginning of a new multi-year survey, the third generation of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey, which will use a suite of new instruments to investigate a wide range of scientific topics. Building on eight years of extraordinary discoveries by the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS and SDSS-II), the new program of four coordinated surveys will revolutionize the study of the distant universe, the Milky Way galaxy, and giant planets orbiting other stars, and the largest of these surveys will use a novel and powerful technique to study dark energy, one of the biggest mysteries in contemporary science. ...> Full Article


Hubble Telescope Helps Physicists Find 'Double Einstein Ring' (1/12/2008)

Hubble Telescope Helps Physicists Find 'Double Einstein Ring'NASA's Hubble Space Telescope has revealed a never-before-seen optical alignment in space: a pair of glowing rings, one nestled inside the other like a bull's-eye pattern. The double-ring pattern is caused by the complex bending of light from two distant galaxies strung directly behind a foreground massive galaxy, like three beads on a string. ...> Full Article


Supernovae Not What They Used To Be; Distant Supernovae Distinctly Brighter (10/28/2007)

Supernovae Not What They Used To Be; Distant Supernovae Distinctly BrighterExploding stars that light the way for research on dark energy aren't as powerful or bright, on average, as they once were. ...> Full Article


Testing Einstein: Is Dark Energy Constant? (10/12/2007)

Nearly a decade ago, astronomers discovered the surprising existence of dark energy-a mysterious force that pushes galaxies apart and accelerates the expansion of the universe. Also known as the energy density of the vacuum, dark energy is a property of space itself. Scientists have many questions about the nature of dark energy. One question that soon may be answered: Is the energy density of the vacuum constant over cosmic time? ...> Full Article


Joint Dark Energy Mission a Top Priority for NASA (9/8/2007)

Joint Dark Energy Mission a Top Priority for NASAThe National Research Council's Beyond Einstein Program Assessment Committee has recommended that the Joint Dark Energy Mission (JDEM), jointly supported by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration and the Department of Energy, be the first of NASA's Beyond Einstein cosmology missions to be developed and launched. ...> Full Article
