The "theory method" gives a value for the Hubble constant of about 152,000 miles per hour per megaparsec (68 kilometers per second per megaparsec, or Mpc), ...

New observations from the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) suggest the cosmos may be much older than once believed. For ...

Recent Hubble observations have bolstered the theory that they begin in the dusty cores of starburst galaxies, where new stars are rapidly assembled, but scientists are still teasing that out.

In recent years, trouble has been brewing in attempts to measure the universe's expansion, which is governed by the Hubble–Lemaître law.This tells us that the velocity at which a galaxy is ...

Big bang theory is introduced 1927. Georges LeMaitre (1894-1966) showed that religion and science ... Edwin Hubble discovered that galaxies were moving away at high speeds.

There are two gold-standard methods for working out the Hubble constant — the value that quantifies the speed of the universe's expansion. The first is taken by measuring tiny fluctuations in ...
