Scientists tested hundreds of galaxies against the rule 'every twist in light matches a twist in spin.' While the dwarf NGC 1560 followed suit, the overall sample showed 'extra' motions that don't match the visible pattern, complicating both dark matter models and alternative theories.

A new study used only pulsating Cepheid stars to calculate the expansion rate of the Universe. The resulting value of 71.1 (km/s)/Mpc turned out to be lower than the previous 'gold standard' and even further from the Planck satellite data. This sharpens the 'Hubble tension' and suggests our knowledg
