If the Hubble tension is real, what’s the solution?

Both of these methods rely on the same laws of physics, the same underlying theory of gravity, the same cosmic ingredients, and even the same equations as one another. And yet, when we actually perform our observations and make those critical measurements, we get two completely different answers tha...

Your Birthday Image from the Hubble Telescope

As of 2023, the Hubble Space Telescope continues to carry out its very important scientific work, trying to find answers to the most important questions we ask. The Hubble features a 2.4-metre (7-foot-10-inch) mirror that captures extremely high-resolution images. It has five main instruments tha...
