It gets its name from UChicago alum Edwin Hubble, who was first to calculate the constant from his measurements of stars in 1929. Despite nearly a hundred years of astronomical measurements and ...

A recent study published in The Astrophysical Journal Letters has provided the most precise distance to the Coma Cluster of ...

In simplest terms, the rate at which the universe expands on paper doesn’t match actual astronomical observations. That speed ...

A slowly spinning universe could resolve a puzzle in physics known as the Hubble tension, a new model suggests.

But he had no way to measure the distances to these reddish ... kilometers/second per light year of distance, now called Hubble's constant. The numbers were not exactly right, and refinements ...

For years, astronomers have measured the speed at which the universe is expanding, a value known as the Hubble constant (H₀). However, there’s a problem: measurements made in the nearby universe ...

According to the researchers, their spinning model predicts a Hubble constant consistent with local measurements. With their initial study complete, the team are now planning to expand their model ...

And both measurements have been fine-tuned so precisely ... That’s because the Hubble constant helps figure out how old the universe is, how big it is, and how it behaves over time.

An intriguing new study suggests that the universe may rotate once every 500 billion years. If correct, the authors believe that it could explain one of the most annoying puzzles in astronomic ...

Measurements in the comparatively nearby ... At the same time, it could explain the persistent discrepancy in the Hubble constant. However, the model would have to be further developed to verify ...
