A new study published in Nature found that Andromeda’s satellite galaxies are stacked on one side—an unusual imbalance that challenges the Lambda Cold Dark Matter (ΛCDM) cosmological model. The finding is stirring questions about the universe’s blueprint and suggests our cosmic models may be due for a rewrite.

After an extended mission due to technical issues with their return spacecraft, two NASA astronauts are set to return to Earth aboard SpaceX’s Crew-9 capsule. Originally scheduled for a short stay, Sunita Williams and Barry Wilmore have spent nearly nine months aboard the International Space Station (ISS) after their Boeing Starliner capsule encountered propulsion problems. With the successful arrival of Crew-10 on March 16, 2025, the long-delayed crew rotation is now underway, paving the way for their return no earlier than March 20, 2025.
