Experts were running a test to see how some of the most mysterious singularities in the universe worked. They can change physics forever with the discovery.

Astronomers studied 10,000 stars in Hubble pictures to make this composite image and to learn about the evolution of the Milky Way galaxy. Light from our own galaxy is the most recently produced ...
