The latest reports on NASA's scientists have found with the help of Hubble telescope that our Universe is expanding at a faster rate. It is reported that astronomers have used to the Hubble telescope to find the distance to stars in nineteen different galaxies beyond the Milky Way. These new findings are reported to have created a possibility to explore more about the Universe's indefinable components, dark matter, dark energy and neutrinos.

Eureka Alert reported that a small team of astronomers at Space Telescope Science Institute headed by Nobel Laureate, Adam Riess, used the Hubble telescope and has concluded that our Universe is expanding five to nine percent higher rate as compared to the earlier calculations.

"This surprising finding may be an important clue to understanding those mysterious parts of the Universe that make up 95 percent of everything and don't emit light, such as dark energy, dark matter, and dark radiation," explained Adam, as reported by News.

There are reports that the possible reason behind the unexpected growth of the Universe is being considered to be dark radiation particle. This subatomic particle is said to have caused a change in the energy balance and thus has led to the fast expansion.

Further, Telegraph reported that the rate of expansion of the Universe as found out by the Hubble telescope has contradicted the predictions, based on the Big Band radiation, which is stated to have given rise to our present Universe around 13.8 billion years ago.

Besides, the latest study reports from NASA have also suggested that the fast expanding Universe hints towards the possibility that the Einstein's general theory of relativity is somewhat wrong.

Meanwhile, Space reported that the astronomers used a cosmic yardstick to calculate the distance between the stars in different galaxies with the Hubble telescope. The reports also suggest that the scientists used the telescope to measure a particular type of star, known as Cepheid variables.

Additionally, there are reports that NASA's scientists, who used the Hubble telescope for the new findings, are trying to reduce the uncertainty of the results from 2.4 percent to 1 percent. It is also reported that other telescopes like European Space Agency's Gaia satellite and NASA's James Webb Space Telescope might also help the astronomers for taking accurate measurements of the expansion rate and thus, lead to further new findings related to the Universe.

The latest research report is set to be published in the upcoming issue of Astrophysics journal.
