@jdyed.bsky.socialModern cosmology studies dark matter (binding galaxies) and dark energy (expanding the universe).
The Holy Quran described their mechanisms 1,400 years ago and settled the debate about what they are, as detailed in this image:

![This image says: What Does the Holy Quran State About "Dark Matter" and "Dark Energy"?
In cosmology, "dark matter" and "dark energy" are named as such not because they are truly dark, but because they are invisible—undetectable by instruments, light, radiation, and so forth—and because they are unseen, their true nature remains unknown to non-Muslims. "Dark matter" exerts a gravitational pull that keeps celestial bodies in their orbits, whereas "dark energy" drives the expansion of the universe. c
However, when the educated Sunni Muslim knows about the actions and effects of "dark matter", he remembers that God has said in Arabic in the Holy Quran 35:41: "Indeed, God holds the heavens and Earth from shifting [out of their proper positions], and if they were to shift, no one could hold them after Him". c
As for "dark energy", it reminds him that God has said in the Quran 51:47: "And the universe I built with Hands, and indeed I am expanding it".

@science.socialThe North America (NGC 7000) and Pelican (IC 5070) nebulae form a massive star-birthing complex in Cygnus. Spanning 130 light-years, these ionized hydrogen clouds reveal the impact of high-mass stars on our galaxy’s evolution.
@science.socialLong-exposure astrophotography reveals the bond between Earth and the cosmos. This shot captures the Milky Way arc above a waterfall, contrasting terrestrial fluid dynamics with the galactic plane’s complexity. A profound look at our place in space. #space #astronomy #astrophysics
@science.socialThe Sun’s light isn't a solid rainbow; it’s filled with thousands of dark Fraunhofer lines. These gaps occur when elements like hydrogen absorb specific wavelengths, creating a spectral fingerprint that reveals the Sun's chemistry and heat. #astronomy #astrophysics #physics
@science.socialSpanning 1° in Cepheus, Ou4 (the Giant Squid Nebula) is a massive outflow of ionized oxygen within SH2-129. Driven by the HR 8119 triple-star system 2,300 light-years away, its blue hue reveals high-energy interactions in the interstellar medium. #space #astronomy #astrophysics
@bhi-harvard.bsky.socialBHI fellow Sasha Plavin is in the news!

@science.socialThe Tarantula Nebula (30 Doradus) is the most active star-forming region in our galactic neighborhood. Located 160,000 light-years away, JWST observations reveal thousands of young stars, helping us study the universe's evolution. #space #astronomy #astrophysics
@science.socialGravitational lensing has created a striking Einstein Ring around a nearby galaxy. This visual proof of General Relativity helps astronomers map dark matter and study the distant universe by measuring the ring's distortion to calculate galactic mass.

@science.socialThe Cartwheel Galaxy’s ring formed when a smaller galaxy pierced a large spiral, sending a density wave through space. This collision compressed gas and dust, triggering the intense star formation seen in its outer rim.
