Einstein taught us that looking far into space is looking back in time.
Thanks to this trick we have captured the light and taken photos, not only of the contemporary Universe, but also of the young Universe, the adolescent Universe and the child Universe. In doing so we learned a lot about the cosmos that surrounds us, its origin and evolution and the physical laws that govern it. We have a beautiful model. However, there is a big difference between modeling and understanding. For this reason there is a great coordinated effort of the scientific community to "photograph" the Cosmos by producing an exponentially growing quantity of data, which will provide us with new challenges and opportunities.

Astrophysicists point to a crack in the standard model of Cosmology. The precision of new observational results on the early and late Universe have increased and researchers suggest the requirement of new physics to fit the new data. This is the main conclusion of a study published in Nature Astronomy and signed by researchers from the University of Barcelona, the University of California (United States) and the Johns Hopkins University (Maryland, United States).
