• NASA Says "Something Weird" Is Happening With Our Universe Right Now

Is there an end and a beginning? Do concepts of time and space actually exist? Why are we here? Where did we come from? We would love to know why we are really here, how much of an impact we have, and what it all means. We wish we could have all the answers to the universes, like somehow unlocking the "how" would change our "why."

The more we understand the more we gain control and alter our purpose. New research from the Hubble Space Telescope has found something strange is happening in the universe. NASA is working on figuring out what exactly is happening and why.However, this could not only challenge our previous assumptions and understanding of the universe but it could also introduce "brand new physics." Here's what it means.

• Moving From The Milkyway Way Into Dark Energy

It has do with how quickly the universe is expanding. While expansion was expected, it's advancing at a much quicker pace than predicted. The more data they collect, the more observations show other galaxies are moving away from our Milky Way faster.

The even stranger part is why. Scientists aren't able to pinpoint the cause just yet. Here is what we know so far. The universe is full of matter and the attractive force of gravity pulls all that matter together. What affects the earth's acceleration is called dark energy but we don't know how it affects it.

While the explanation of expansion is still a mystery we do know that roughly 68% of the universe is dark energy. Everything on Earth only makes less than 5% of the universe. We are such a small fraction.

• Hubble Space Telescope Intel

The Hubble Space Telescope technology has helped NASA make strides in understanding the universe. This powerful tool can measure the interstellar and is working on a large-scale mission of figuring out how quickly our universe is expanding. It's the reason scientists suggest that the universe is not expanding at a uniform rate.

Scientists are currently studying this strange phenomenon on a set of space and time called "milepost markets". Adam Riess of the Space Telescope Science believes that these measurements are now getting more accurate than ever before, adding: "You are getting the most precise measure of the expansion rate for the universe from the gold standard of telescopes and cosmic mile markers."
