  Fascinating Facts About the Universe You Probably Didn’t Know The universe is a vast and mysterious expanse, filled with wonders that challenge our understanding of reality. While scientists have made incredible discoveries, there’s always more to learn. Here are 10 fascinating facts about the universe that might surprise you: 1. The Universe is Expanding Faster Than Expected The universe has been expanding since the Big Bang, approximately 13.8 billion years ago. However, recent observations from telescopes like the Hubble Space Telescope and data from cosmic background radiation studies reveal that the rate of expansion, known as the Hubble constant, is not consistent with earlier predictions. This discrepancy, known as the Hubble tension, suggests there could be unknown forces or physics at play. It’s possible that dark energy, which drives the acceleration of the universe’s expansion, might have properties we don’t yet fully understand. 2. There Are More Stars Than Grains of ...
