Cosmos

In 1929 he found that distant galaxies are moving away from us faster the farther they are.

Discovered in 1965 by Arno Penzias and Robert Wilson, it dates from about 380,000 years after the Big Bang.

Roughly 27% is dark matter and about 68% is dark energy.

Scientists estimate this age by measuring the cosmic microwave background and the expansion rate.

Although the universe is about 13.8 billion years old, its expansion means the observable region is much larger than that age suggests.

Astronauts returning from spacewalks report a unique aroma clinging to their suits, attributed to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. These molecules are created by dying stars and exist throughout the cosmos, giving space its peculiar scent.

Astrologically, the Sun is considered a 'luminary' and the most powerful celestial body, symbolizing life force, ego, and identity. Its central role in our solar system mirrors Leo's inherent desire to be the center of attention and radiate warmth.

While there's no air to transmit sound waves as we know them, space isn't a perfect vacuum. Planets, stars, and other celestial bodies emit electromagnetic vibrations that can be converted into sound, revealing a hidden symphony.

Known as Gaia BH1, it's located in the constellation Ophiuchus and is about 10 times the mass of our Sun. This discovery challenges previous assumptions about how many dormant black holes exist in our galaxy and their detectability.

This mind-boggling comparison helps visualize the immense scale of the cosmos. Scientists estimate there are billions of galaxies, each containing billions of stars, making the number truly astronomical and humbling.
