Early dark energy could resolve cosmology's two biggest puzzles
Boston MA (SPX) Sep 18, 2024
A new study by MIT physicists proposes that a mysterious force known as early dark energy could solve two of the biggest puzzles in cosmology and fill in some major gaps in our understanding of how the early universe evolved.
One puzzle in question is the "Hubble tension," which refers to a mismatch in measurements of how fast the universe is expanding. The other involves observations of n

Earth will have a second 'tiny moon' for two months
Washington DC (UPI) Sep 19, 2024
It won't be there forever, but Earth will have a second moon when a small asteroid begins to orbit the planet later this month, space researchers have announced.
The celestial visitor, dubbed 2024 PT5, is from the Arjuna asteroid belt, according to researchers at the NASA-funded Asteroid Terrestrial-impact Last Alert System, or ATLAS, an asteroid monitoring system in South Africa.

Satellite-based model maps natural and planted forests worldwide
Sydney, Australia (SPX) Sep 16, 2024
While tree planting is often promoted as a solution to climate change, planted forests can sometimes encroach on natural habitats such as forests, wetlands, and grasslands. This can lead to decreased biodiversity and disrupt essential processes like carbon and water cycling. Although global forest cover has been increasing, it has been difficult to determine whether this growth is due to the exp
