In today's episode, we explore groundbreaking findings in cosmology as scientists suggest dark energy may be evolving, challenging our understanding of the universe. We also delve into the discovery of a new, ancient tree species in Tanzania's Udzungwa Mountains, highlighting the region's rich biodiversity. Plus, the James Webb Space Telescope's direct observation of carbon dioxide in exoplanet atmospheres marks a significant milestone in astronomy. Join us as we uncover these fascinating stories and their implications for science and our understanding of the cosmos.
