Astronomers are convinced these are the 2 major players in the universe. Dark matter, pulling the universe together, & dark energy, pushing it apart. They’re engaged in a cosmic tug of war that will determine nothing less than the fate of our universe.

Happy #EarthDay! The Earth is a “force” to be reckoned with, just like this question from Greg of @WTPhysics. Do you know the answer?

So, TESS launched. Nearly a week til first light; 2 months til science orbit. But riskiest stage is over. If TESS performs as it should—and if small rocky planets are as abundant as suggested by Kepler—we are now truly on threshold of finding our vaunted quarry, Earth 2.0.

Hubble has uncovered the farthest star ever seen! The star is so far away that its light took 9 billion years to reach Earth. It was only visible due to a quirk of nature known as gravitational lensing. hubblesite.org/news_release/…

In the year 2020, this is how far the Solar System's "barycenter" will be OUTSIDE of the Sun. (The Sun doesn't quite sit at the center of the solar system. It moves around the barycenter +). Info: bit.ly/2bzdzjX
