NASA says something strange is happening to our universe and how fast it is expanding.
Scientists are studying new data from the Hubble Space Telescope.
They say the pace of enlargement has become much faster than expected.
“You get the most accurate measure of the rate of expansion of the universe from the gold standard of telescopes and space mile markers,” said Nobel laureate Adam Rees of the Space Telescope Institute (STScI) and Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Maryland. .
Observations have also shown that other galaxies are moving away faster than our Milky Way.
But scientists still can’t figure out why, so all they’re saying so far is that something strange is happening.
“The reason for this discrepancy remains a mystery. But Hubble data covering various space objects that serve as distance markers supports the idea that something strange is happening, possibly involving brand new physics,” officials said in a press release.
