New JWST data confirms, worsens the Hubble tension

<p>Two major methods each give low-error, but incompatible, answers.</p> <p><img alt="" src="https://miro.medium.com/v2/resize:fit:700/0*uzjgV2gkgy_bdBSr" style="height:394px; width:700px" /></p> <p><em>Taking us beyond the limits of any prior observatory, including all of the ground-based telescopes on Earth as well as Hubble, NASA&rsquo;s JWST has shown us the most distant galaxies in the Universe ever discovered. If we assign 3D positions to the galaxies that have been sufficiently observed-and-measured, we can construct a visualized fly-through of the Universe, as the CEERS data from JWST enables us to do here. Measuring the expansion rate is a challenge, as different methods yield different, mutually incompatible results.</em>&nbsp;(<a href="https://webbtelescope.org/contents/media/videos/2023/126/01H4NSM0PHW800KW15FCQ1TBZV?news=true" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">Credits</a>: Frank Summers (STScI), Greg Bacon (STScI), Joseph DePasquale (STScI), Leah Hustak (STScI), Joseph Olmsted (STScI), Alyssa Pagan (STScI); Science by: Steve Finkelstein (UT Austin), Rebecca Larson (RIT), Micaela Bagley (UT Austin))</p> <p><a href="https://medium.com/starts-with-a-bang/new-jwst-data-confirms-worsens-the-hubble-tension-1925b179460c"><strong>Click Here</strong></a></p>
