The vast majority of matter in the universe is dark-it is entirely invisible and detected only through its gravitational effects. Ordinary matter-everything from protons to planets to people-makes up only 16 percent. Unlike dark matter, ordinary matter emits light of various wavelengths and thus can be seen. But a large chunk of it is diffuse and spread thinly among halos that surround galaxies

The Big Bang is often described as the explosive birth of the universe - a singular moment when space, time and matter sprang into existence. But what if this was not the beginning at all? What if our universe emerged from something else - something more familiar and radical at the same time?
In a new paper, published in Physical Review D (full preprint here), my colleagues and I propose a

Astronomers have successfully traced the bulk of the Universe's "missing" ordinary matter to the intergalactic medium, using fast radio bursts (FRBs) as cosmic probes. Researchers from the Center for Astrophysics | Harvard and Smithsonian and Caltech leveraged these powerful signals to detect the faint, elusive gas long suspected to float between galaxies, finally providing a detailed census of

Proba-3’s first artificial solar eclipse
Monday, 16 June 2025 13:30
Today, the European Space Agency’s Proba-3 mission unveils its first images of the Sun’s outer atmosphere – the solar corona. The mission’s two satellites, able to fly as a single spacecraft thanks to a suite of onboard positioning technologies, have succeeded in creating their first ‘artificial total solar eclipse’ in orbit. The resulting coronal images demonstrate the potential of formation flying technologies, while delivering invaluable scientific data that will improve our understanding of the Sun and its enigmatic atmosphere.
