New measurements of the rate of expansion of the universe, led by astronomers at the University of California, Davis, add to a growing mystery: Estimates of a fundamental constant made with different ...
Scientists are testing a novel way to measure cosmic expansion using time delays in gravitationally lensed quasars. Their ...
Animation of the findings by researchers who used time-delay cosmography to independently confirm that the universe’s current ...
For much of the twentieth century, scientists expected the expanding universe to slow over time. The opposite turned out to ...
It’s a powerful technique, but small uncertainties at each step can add up, something critics argue may be behind the Hubble tension. The new study bypasses this entire ladder using a method called ...
Physicists have improved the accuracy of a technique that uses variable stars to measure distances in the universe, providing a new figure for its expansion rate. When you purchase through links on ...
New gravitational lensing measurements by the TDCOSMO Collaboration support the Hubble Tension, confirming differences between Early and Late Universe Hubble Constant values using updated ...
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 are closing in on a result so statistically secure that, in their language, it borders on certainty: a 99.9999999 ...

Images made with the W.M. Keck Observatory in Hawaii show how light from two distant galaxies is distorted into multiple images. UC Davis astronomers have made a new estimate of the Hubble Constant, ...
New measurements of the rate of expansion of the universe add to a growing mystery: Estimates of a fundamental constant made with different methods keep giving different results. New measurements of ...
