Paradox's

[discord73]

So, what are all the known paradox's in Astronomy?

What do you mean by paradox? Do you mean unresolved problems, or things like the 'twin paradox' which is perfectly well understood, but counter-intuitive at first?

Good question, I was thinking along the lines of paradox's such as unanswered questions
Olber's paradox and Foucault's Pendulum during an eclipse, so I guess they wouldn't nesecarily be paradox's. but I'm also interested in actual paradox's like the twin paradox. have there been any posts in the past covering these twho items?

Some unanswered questions:

Strangely, it was hard to find other websites with lists of unsolved problems in astronomy.

I don't think there are any paradoxes. Unanswered questions are unanswered questions - not paradoxes.
