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), ...

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 ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. Nearly a century ago, Edwin Hubble discovered that the universe is getting larger. Modern measurements of how fast it is expanding ...

But 100 years ago, astronomer Edwin P. Hubble (1889-1953), working at the Mount Wilson Observatory in California, ... put forth the theory that our universe was created in a lab by aliens. ...

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.

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 ...

The Hubble Space Telescope has imaged a stunning and unusual galaxy with nine rings around it. ... “That theory was developed for the day that someone saw so many rings,” van Dokkum said.
