Learn how Hubble is measuring the expansion rate of the Universe in this new explainer from NASA's Goddard Space Flight ...

Astronomers have been arguing about the rate of the universe’s expansion for nearly a century. A new independent method to measure that rate could help cast the deciding vote. For the first time, ...

NASA has released a huge new report that astronomers are calling Hubble’s magnum opus. Analyzing 30 years of data from the famous space telescope, the new study makes the most precise measurement yet ...

With the combined power of two space telescopes, astronomers have made the most precise measurement to date of the Hubble Constant, the rate at which the universe is expanding. But the results provide ...

Until just a century ago, our galaxy was thought to be the lone family of stars occupying the Cosmos. Philosophers, notably Immanuel Kant in the 18th Century, postulated the existence of other ...
