Learn how Hubble is measuring the expansion rate of the Universe in this new explainer from NASA's Goddard Space Flight ...

Until just a century ago, our galaxy was thought to be the lone family of stars occupying the Cosmos. Philosophers, notably Immanuel Kant in the 18th Century, postulated the existence of other ...

Astronomers have been arguing about the rate of the universe’s expansion for nearly a century. A new independent method to measure that rate could help cast the deciding vote. For the first time, ...

Whatever dark energy is, explanations for it have less wiggle room following a Hubble Space Telescope observation that has refined the measurement of the universe’s ...

With the combined power of two space telescopes, astronomers have made the most precise measurement to date of the Hubble Constant, the rate at which the universe is expanding. But the results provide ...

Scientists generally agree that the universe is expanding, and that the rate of expansion is accelerating, but exactly how fast that’s happening is up for debate. Now, astrophysicists at Clemson ...

The rate of the universe’s expansion has vexed astronomers for decades. Called the Hubble constant, the figure is quite different depending on how you get to it—fittingly, a source of constant ...

Astronomers used gravitational lensing to detect a supernova 10 billion light-years away, providing spatially separated images that help study cosmic expansion and early Universe events.

The conventional wisdom goes like this: Americans are more divided than ever. The gaps between us — Republicans and Democrats, Tea Partiers and Never Trumpers, Pelosi fans and AOC believers — seem ...

This is according to new evidence presented by scientists from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, who say our presence within one of these empty regions would help explain a lot of problems relating ...
