Astronomy Daily: Space News Updates
Mapping Missing Matter, Black Hole Big Bang Theories, and Artificial Solar Eclipses
17 Jun 2025
Highlights:- Locating the Universe's Missing Matter: In this episode, we unveil a groundbreaking discovery where astronomers have successfully mapped the universe's missing ordinary matter using fast radio bursts. These cosmic flashlights have revealed that a significant portion of matter is lurking in the vast spaces between galaxies, forming an invisible cosmic web, enhancing our understanding of the universe's structure.- New Theory on the Big Bang: Delve into a thought-provoking theory suggesting that the Big Bang may not be the beginning of everything, but rather a result of gravitational collapse within a massive black hole. This model offers testable predictions and could reshape our understanding of cosmic inflation and dark energy.- Artificial Solar Eclipses: Discover how the European Space Agency's Proba 3 mission is creating artificial solar eclipses with two satellites, allowing scientists to study the sun's corona for extended periods without complex image processing. This innovation could revolutionise our understanding of solar dynamics.- Axiom Mission Update: We provide the latest on the Axiom Space AX-4 mission, which could launch as soon as June 19th, following a resolution to an air leak issue in the ISS's Russian segment. Stay tuned for updates on this private astronaut mission.- Project Kuiper Launch Delay: Learn about the postponement of Amazon's second Project Kuiper launch due to engineering observations, delaying the deployment of satellites intended to enhance global internet connectivity.- Launch Roundup: Join us for an exciting roundup of upcoming launches, including multiple SpaceX Falcon 9 missions, the final flight of Japan's H2A rocket, and much more from around the globe, making for a busy week in space exploration.For more cosmic updates, visit our website at astronomydaily.io.
