Subatomic Particle 14 Billion Years Old Source:  European Space Agency/Hubble Big Bang Subatomic Particle May Provide Answers on Dark Matter Researchers believe that they have identified a subatomic particle that may have formed the Universe's dark matter right after the Big Bang, nearly 14 billion years ago.  They say this is one of the strongest pieces of evidence of the very existence of dark matter.  Dark matter can be seen in the picture (above) floating like a ring in the galaxy cluster ZwC10024+1652.  The team of astronomers, studying images obtained from the Hubble telescope, believe that dark matter was produced by a collision between two huge space clusters. Dark Matter Scientists have estimated that 27% of the matter in the Universe could be dark matter.  There has been very little substantive understanding of what dark matter is until now.  A team of nuclear physicists think that dark matter could be made from the newly identified particle - the

Bigger Than Big Bang Source:  NASA Huge Explosion in Universe From Light Years Ago Just Detected By Global Team Astronomers using data from the most advanced NASA, European Space Agency, India and Australia telescopes have just discovered the biggest explosion that the universe has ever experienced since the Big Bang.  It happened in a galaxy 390 million light years away from the Earth.  And incredibly it took place in slow motion over hundreds of millions of years.  The science to discover this phenomena is remarkable and the details emerging on events going back into space from such a distance and time are amazing, innovative scientific discoveries. Supermassive Black Hole in the Ophiuchus Galaxy Cluster The global team of astronomers say the explosion they detected released five times more energy than ever detected before.  The explosion came from a supermassive black hold in a galaxy called the Ophiuchus Galaxy Cluster nearly 400 million light years from the Earth.   Th
