"New Horizons: Unveiling the Universe's True Darkness from Afar"

The New Horizons spacecraft, currently twice as distant from the Sun as Pluto, has attempted to capture the true darkness of the universe by measuring the amount of light it captures in a patch of sky far away from the Milky Way, the Sun, and bright stars. Comparing its measurements to those of the Hubble telescope, researchers found that while it was darker than expected, there was still some unexplained faint glow. The team plans to observe 15 other dark locations to further investigate this mysterious background glow and potentially gain a clearer view of the cosmos.
