Despite their fearsome reputation, we simply wouldn't exist without black holes.

On further review, the study claiming that the universe is expanding at a steady rate ended up independently proving accelerating expansion.
# science
A new paper claims that the universe's expansion isn't accelerating. If that's true, we have to start rewriting cosmology as we know it.
# space
While studying mysterious fast radio bursts, astronomers figured out why the universe weighs as much as it does and where that mass went.

If you've heard about the Cold Spot, you may have read that it's caused by a strangely low density of galaxies in that area of the universe. But the truth is much, much weirder...
# space
It turns out that one of the best ways to learn about dark matter is to turn out the lights, lean back, and closely watch a little gravitational galaxy on galaxy action.
# science
A group of physicists say that a multiverse, in which we're just one of many sibling universes, is an inevitable result of cosmic inflation.
# space
Planck has given us more precise measurements of how the universe works, but mostly confirms what we know.
# space
We just found the Higgs boson, and already a few scientists think it might be responsible for destroying the universe on a random day in the unspecified future.
# space
On the largest cosmological scale, the universe is supposed to be homogenous. A new discovery puts that principle in question.
# science
Alcohol isn't just the cause of and answer to most of life's problems, it also tells us something fundamental about the nature of all matter.
# science
A new experiment is attempting to find out whether we may be living in some sort of simulation.
# space
An Italian mathematician is trying to replace dark matter observation by playing with models of gravitational measurements.
# space
We're here for an exciting time, not a long time. And we should use that time doing something fun and constructive.

Quests for meaning don't fit into peer-reviewed science. That doesn't stop some from trying anyway.
