An artist’s illustration depicts a primordial black hole (at left) flying past, and briefly “wobbling” the orbit of Mars (at right), with the sun in the background. MIT scientists say such a wobble could be detectable by today’s instruments. Credits:Credit: Image by Benjamin Lehmann, using SpaceEngine @ Cosmographic Software LLC.

Early dark energy could have triggered the formation of numerous bright galaxies, very early in the universe, a new study finds. The mysterious unknown force could have caused early seeds of galaxies (depicted at left) to sprout many more bright galaxies (at right) than theory predicts. Credits:Image: Josh Borrow/Thesan Team
