Are we living in a cosmic void? New theory suggests our galaxy sits in a giant hole warping the universe's expansion.

New research suggests that a troubling disparity in the rate of expansion of the universe, known as the Hubble constant, may arise from the fact Earth sits in a vast underdense region of the ...

The discrepancy is known as the Hubble tension, and new JWST data hasn’t done anything to ease it (SN: 7/30/19). The telescope took images of the same stars as the Hubble telescope and ...

This unexplained difference is what we call the Hubble tension. "I like thinking of the Hubble tension as like when you were a kid at the doctor's office, and you got measured when you were a baby ...

The mystery of the Hubble tension has deepened with the startling finding that the Coma Cluster of galaxies is 38 million light-years closer than it should be. In recent years, ...
