Phantom Energy and Cosmic Doomsday
Phantom energy, with negative sum of pressure and energy density, could lead to the universe tearing itself apart in a "Big Rip".
Planck Satellite
ESA mission designed to find the three cosmological parameters: the Hubble parameter, the density and the deceleration parameter from variations in the cosmic background radiation.
