This image of the Type Ia supernova remnant 0509-67.5 was made using data from NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope and Chandra X-ray Observatory. Analyses of Type Ia supernovas’ motion through space has led most cosmologists to conclude that the universe’s expansion is accelerating, driven by a mysterious force called dark energy. The universe may not be […]
