96 percent of cosmos puzzles astronomers

In summary, astronomers have only been able to explain 96 percent of the phenomena and mysteries in the universe, leaving 4 percent unexplained. Some examples of these unexplained puzzles include dark matter, dark energy, black holes, and the origin of the universe. It is important for astronomers to continue studying these puzzles as it can lead to a better understanding of the universe and potential advancements in technology. Astronomers use various methods such as observations, experiments, and theoretical models to try and understand these puzzles, often collaborating with other scientists and using advanced technology and instruments. While advancements in technology and our understanding of the universe may lead to more answers in the future, it is also possible that some mysteries may remain unsolved indefinitely.
