... Dark energy is believed to be a component of the Universe whose repulsive gravity is presently accelerating the expansion of the Universe.€а Although it comprises the bulk of the mass-energy of the Universe, its nature is not well understood.€а €аAlbert Einstein originally suggested its existence about 80 years ago. A supernova is the explosive death of a star, which unleashes a burst of light through the cosmos. ... This website is a gift from Nancy Riess . ...

Astronomers have long suspected it was a very massive black hole, and that every galaxy had such a central mass, created early in the history of the universe. ... However, unless that object happens to be headed directly at the black hole (a relatively small target) it will just swing around and fly away again, like a comet making a pass at the Sun. The velocity acquired in falling towards the black hole also helps it escape. ...

The Sun is our nearest star and the source of energy for life on Earth. ... For centuries astronomers wondered whether they were clouds floating in the Sun's atmosphere, but we now know that they really are huge regions of magnetic field, about as intense as the field at the poles of an iron magnet. ... Such abrupt events were named solar flares , and what made them especially interesting was that occasionally, after a prominent flare, a magnetic storm would erupt on Earth. ...
