For years, cosmologists have argued over a simple question with an awkward answer: How fast is the universe expanding right ...

Astronomers have made new measurements of the Hubble Constant, a measure of how quickly the Universe is expanding, by combining data from the Hubble Space Telescope and the James Webb Space Telescope.

Drawing together leading experts from across the field, an international collaboration of cosmologists has created a unified approach for measuring the value of the Hubble constant. Published in ...

Scientists propose a gravitational-wave method called the stochastic standard siren to measure the Hubble constant, offering an independent way to examine the universe’s expansion and the Hubble ...

Astronomers studying the Milky Way's oldest stars have estimated that the Universe is about 13.6 billion years old.

Researchers from the University of Bologna and the Leibniz Institute for Astrophysics Potsdam (AIP) along with other institutes have proposed a new way to address the Hubble tension by comparing ...

New measurements of the rate of expansion of the universe, led by astronomers at the University of California, Davis, add to a growing mystery: Estimates of a fundamental constant made with different ...

Astrophysicists propose a new “stochastic siren” method using the gravitational-wave background from black hole mergers to ...

A subtle gravitational-wave “hum” from merging black holes may help settle the cosmic fight over how fast the universe is ...

A cosmic camera hog is helping astronomers figure out the rate of the universe’s expansion. Images of the supernova Refsdal have popped up multiple times in the constellation Leo, thanks to light from ...

A new study has estimated the universe’s possible age by using precise data on stars.

In recent years, one of the most troubling puzzles in astrophysics has grown more urgent. Scientists have realized that the universe seems to be expanding faster than expected, throwing a wrench into ...
