Hubble’s measurements of today’s expansion rate do not match the rate that was expected based on how the Universe appeared shortly after the Big Bang over 13 billion years ago. Using new data from the ...

NASA has released a huge new report that astronomers are calling Hubble’s magnum opus. Analyzing 30 years of data from the famous space telescope, the new study makes the most precise measurement yet ...

Astronomers have made new measurements of the Hubble Constant, a measure of how quickly the Universe is expanding, by combining data from the Hubble Space Telescope and the James Webb Space Telescope.

To many cosmologists, the best thing about neutron-star mergers is that these events scream into space an otherwise close-kept secret of the universe. Scientists combined the gravitational and ...

The Hubble Space Telescope might be best known by the public for the beautiful images of space it captures, but it is most famous among astronomers for producing groundbreaking insights into the ...

There’s a big debate in cosmology about how fast the universe is currently expanding. The collision of two neutron stars in 2017, seen in an artist's rendering, created both gravitational waves and ...

This illustration shows the three basic steps astronomers use to calculate how fast the universe expands over time, a value called the Hubble constant. All the steps involve building a strong "cosmic ...

A cosmic camera hog is helping astronomers figure out the rate of the universe’s expansion. Images of the supernova Refsdal have popped up multiple times in the constellation Leo, thanks to light from ...

A 60-year-old prediction just helped astronomers measure the expansion of the universe. Astronomers recently used the light of a distant supernova to calculate how fast the universe is expanding. But ...
