Houston, Texas – The Hubble Space Telescope, orbiting Earth since 1990, has unveiled the hidden mysteries of the universe to scientists with over 1 million observations. Recently, NASA released a free e-book titled “Hubble Focus: The Dark Universe” to shed light on what the Hubble mission has revealed about dark matter and dark energy, challenging existing scientific theories.
Dark matter, invisible to the naked eye and accounting for most of the universe’s mass, plays a crucial role in shaping the cosmos. Scientists estimate that dark matter makes up 27 percent of the universe, while dark energy, fueling the universe’s expansion, accounts for 68 percent.
Equipped with advanced instruments, the Hubble Space Telescope captures unseen cosmic phenomena that challenge existing cosmological models. The data collected enables scientists to delve deeper into the mysteries of the universe, unveiling new discoveries and insights along the way.
The free e-book not only highlights the groundbreaking discoveries made possible by the Hubble mission but also simplifies complex concepts for a broader audience. Packed with images from the mission and expert insights, the e-book delves into topics such as the Hubble constant, which explains the rate at which the universe is expanding.
According to Hubble operations project scientist Ken Carpenter, the e-book offers readers a firsthand look at the ongoing research in the field, inviting them to delve into the captivating world of cosmic exploration. This publication marks the fifth in a series dedicated to sharing the remarkable findings of the Hubble mission with the public.
