Dark energy is one of the biggest puzzles in science and we're now a step closer to understanding it

Retrieved on: 
Monday, January 8, 2024

Dark energy is estimated to make up nearly 70% of the observable universe, yet we still don’t understand what it is.

Key Points: 
  • Dark energy is estimated to make up nearly 70% of the observable universe, yet we still don’t understand what it is.
  • While its nature remains mysterious, the impact of dark energy is felt on grand scales.
  • The announcement in New Orleans may take us closer to a better understanding of this form of energy.
  • Working out this figure is the first step to really understanding the true nature of dark energy.

Subverting expectations

  • The more energy density in the universe, the more repulsion there is – in other words, matter pushes against other matter.
  • It might sound a bit bizarre, as it is counterintuitive to everything we experience on Earth.
  • The work uses the most direct probe we have on the expansion history of the universe: Type Ia supernovae.
  • These distances can then be compared to our expectations.
  • This observatory should soon use its telescope to take a first image of the sky following construction, giving a glimpse into its capabilities.

Want to buy a home telescope? Tips from a professional astronomer to help you choose

Retrieved on: 
Tuesday, January 2, 2024

While the unaided eye or binoculars can reveal much of the night sky, a telescope reveals so much more.

Key Points: 
  • While the unaided eye or binoculars can reveal much of the night sky, a telescope reveals so much more.
  • Seeing Saturn’s rings or the Moon’s craters with your own eyes can be an “oh wow” moment.
  • Telescopes also come in a range of sizes, with a trade-off between light-gathering power, portability and price.

How big should the aperture be?


Aperture is fundamental for telescopes. The bigger the light-collecting lens or mirror, the fainter the objects you can see. Double the aperture from 50mm diameter to 100mm diameter, and the light-collecting area quadruples.

  • Again, bigger is better – a larger aperture telescope will produce sharper images than a smaller aperture telescope of comparable design.
  • Earth’s turbulent atmosphere also blurs images, which can limit the detail seen when the aperture is more than 150mm.

Refractor or reflector?

  • Refracting telescopes Refracting telescopes can be good for viewing objects on Earth and in the sky.
  • While 70mm aperture refracting telescopes can be quite affordable, bigger refractor telescopes are often more expensive than comparable reflecting telescopes.
  • Reflecting telescopes Reflecting telescopes use mirrors to focus light.

How do I find things in the sky? Depends on the mount

  • To do this, a telescope needs a mount, which is often sold with the telescope but can also be bought separately.
  • Equatorial mounts have an axis aligned with Earth’s axis, so a single motor can compensate for Earth’s rotation.
  • With the advent of cheap computing, they can now be used to automatically point at and track celestial objects.
  • A completely manual telescope will be cheaper than a telescope with automation, but you will need to navigate the sky yourself.

Do I need a finder scope?

  • A finder scope with a wider view and crosshairs simplifies things.
  • Even telescopes with goto electronics often need to be calibrated with bright stars and locating them is easier with a finder scope.

What about the eyepiece?

  • Sometimes decent telescopes are sold with quite cheap eyepieces, but it can be relatively inexpensive to upgrade to a better one.
  • More complex eyepieces that provide better views are also available, and far cheaper than they once were.

What if I want to take astro photos?


Taking basic astronomical photos has become much easier with smartphones. While you can hold a phone to the telescope eyepiece for a photo of the Moon or a planet, you will get better results with an adapter that holds your phone securely in place.

  • For long exposures, automatic tracking of celestial objects is essential, and that adds to a telescope’s price.
  • However, you do lose the experience of seeing the universe directly with your own eyes through the eyepiece.

Try before you buy!

  • There should be plenty of telescopes, and owners happy to wax lyrical about them.
  • A specialist shop can also give a direct experience of a telescope: its size and how it works (with limitations during daytime).
  • For example, you may find a telescope is too bulky or technical for your needs.
