HOW OUR UNIVERSE IS EXPANDING!!

 NASA To Probe Inside Secrets Using Exploding Stars

NASA’s new next-generation space telescope,which is presently under development, will see thousands of exploding stars called supernovae across vast universe..

Using these observations, scientist aim to shine a light on several cosmic mysteries, giving a window onto the universe’s distant past and present.

Earlier known as Wide Field Infrared Survey Telescope, it is now named the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope, after NASA’s first Chief of Astronomy.

Roman's cosmic explosion review will help clear up conflicting estimations of how quick the universe is at present extending and even provide a new way to probe the distribution of dark matter, which is detectable only through its gravitational effects.

one of the mission's essential science objectives includes utilising supernovae to assist pin down the nature of dark energy — the unexplained inestimable pressing factor that is accelerating the extension of the universe, the US space organization said. 

Dark energy makes up most of the universe, yet we don't really have the strong idea what it is," said Jason Rhodes, a senior examination researcher at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Southern California.

Roman will utilise various strategies to examine dull energy. One includes looking over the sky for an extraordinary sort of exploding star, called a sort Ia supernova(Supernovae result when massive stars reach the end of their lifetime and explode, causing an ejection of huge amounts of stellar material. However, the large interstellar distances involved make opportunities to accurately observe supernovae rare; SN1987A was the first supernova visible to the naked eye in 383 years).

The astronomers will also use Roman to study the light of these supernovae to find out how quickly they appear to be moving away from us. By comparing how fast they’re receding at different distances, scientists will trace cosmic expansion over time. This will help us understand whether and how dark energy has changed throughout the history of the universe.

 

Roman’s infrared vision, gigantic field of view, and exquisite sensitivity will dramatically extend the search, pulling the cosmic curtains far enough aside to allow astronomers to spot thousands of distant type Ia supernovae, NASA said.

The mission will study dark energy’s influence in detail over more than half of the universe’s history, when it was between about four and 12 billion years old. Exploring this relatively unprobed region will help scientists add crucial pieces to the dark energy puzzle.
