The most recent measurement of a nearby galaxy cluster is deepening a disagreement about how fast the universe is expanding — ...

Istvan Szapudi suggests this cosmic spin could explain inconsistencies in expansion measurements. A mathematical model shows promising results. It calculates a consistent Hubble constant with ...

Wendy Freedman and her team have been able to measure the expansion of our universe, leading to more insights into the cosmos.

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 ...

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 ...

Freedman and her team created a new Hubble Constant, a unit of measurement used to describe how fast the universe is expanding. It is considered one of the most critical numbers in cosmology because ...

Using data from space telescopes and other instruments, astronomers, cosmologists, and astrophysicists are able to deduce and ...

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 ...

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

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.
