Earth's Water Came from Interstellar Space Ice - September 25, 2014

“Our findings show that a significant fraction of our solar system’s water, the most fundamental ingredient to fostering life, is older than the Sun, which indicates that abundant, organic-rich interstellar ices should probably be found in all young planetary systems,” Alexander said.

Cosmic Inflation Theory Disproved

Scientists discover that data they collected earlier this year from the new BICEP2 telescope located at the South Pole disproves the theory of Cosmic Inflation. CI posits a multiverse, infinite parallel universes existing at the same time. Instead some now believe a universe likely existed prior to the 'Big Bang.'

New cosmic map shows Milky Way part of immense supercluster of galaxies

Astrophysicists using computer simulations show the evolution of the universe like never before. Simulations model the large scale changes in the structure of the universe over 13.5 billion years. The computer model that performs these animations Illustris used 8,000+ computers over a period of six months to render the video at the link. The designers incorporated physical models along with Hubble images to create a remarkable visualization.

Cosmic 'web' seen for first time - January 20, 2014

The nature of gravity is that all masses are growing in space. It is an underlying energy in the cosmos that causes this. JE
- Gravity acting across vast distances does not seem to explain what astronomers see.
- Galaxies, for example, should fly apart; some other mass must be there holding them together. - Astrophysicists have thus postulated "dark matter" - invisible to us but clearly acting on galactic scales.
- At the greatest distances, the Universe's expansion is accelerating - Thus we have also "dark energy" which acts to drive the expansion, in opposition to gravity. - The current theory holds that 68% of the Universe is dark energy, 27% is dark matter, and just 5% the kind of matter we know well.

Astrophysicists create the first accurate map of the universe: It’s very flat, and probably infinite - January 9, 2014

Read this Extreme Tech article.
I'm quite sure that the universe isn't infinite, simply because time and space are creations of God for this cosmos.
Also, i wonder whether the conclusion that the universe is flat has to do with the fact that the map was measured out from one point in space. In the past people thought that the earth was flat because they measured out from one point. JE (talk) 02:25, 13 January 2014 (PST)--
At this point you’re probably wondering what we can do with a 99%-accurate map of the nearby universe (yes, this isn’t a map of the entire universe — 1.2 million galaxies is just a tiny sliver). Will it be used by NASA to plot its first intergalactic mission? No (but it’s nice to dream). A highly accurate galactic ruler and map is useful for one main reason: It tells us a lot about how the universe actually functions. If you have an accurate galactic ruler, it then becomes fairly easy to work out whether the universe is flat or curved, and whether the universe is static, expanding, or contracting.
