Tuesday, November 11, 2025 -The European Space Agency’s Euclid telescope has revealed a stark truth about our cosmos: star formation has already peaked, and the universe is entering a long, slow decline.
Current observations show that galaxies are running out of the gas needed to birth new stars, signaling a transition toward a colder, darker future.
Euclid’s data indicates that even galaxies once vibrant with new star activity are now slowing dramatically. Stellar nurseries are closing, and cosmic events that triggered fresh star formation are increasingly rare.
Scientists emphasize that this slowdown isn’t temporary—it marks a permanent shift in how the universe evolves.
For humanity, this discovery underscores a fleeting cosmic window in which life and stars flourish. While individual stars will continue to shine for billions of years, the broader universe is settling into a quieter, lonelier state.
Researchers say understanding this decline is urgent for modeling cosmic evolution and planning future astronomical studies.
