Learn how Hubble is measuring the expansion rate of the Universe in this new explainer from NASA's Goddard Space Flight ...
A team of astronomers using a variety of ground and space-based telescopes including the W. M. Keck Observatory on Maunakea, Hawaiʻi Island, have made one of the most precise independent measurements ...
For much of the twentieth century, scientists expected the expanding universe to slow over time. The opposite turned out to be true.
New research suggests that a troubling disparity in the rate of expansion of the universe, known as the Hubble constant, may arise from the fact Earth sits in a vast underdense region of the cosmos.
"The supernova was named 'supernova Hope' since it gives astronomers hope to better understand the universe’s changing expansion rate." When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an ...
New observations from the James Webb Space Telescope suggest that a new feature in the universe—not a flaw in telescope measurements—may be behind the decadelong mystery of why the universe is ...
Fifteen years ago cosmologists were flying high. The simple but wildly successful “standard model of cosmology” could, with just a few ingredients, account for a lot of what we see in the universe. It ...
Animation of the findings by researchers who used time-delay cosmography to independently confirm that the universe’s current ...
