The Latest Breaking News from Edwin Hubble

It took a decade for NASA to piece together this 416,592,960 pixel image of the Andromeda galaxy and the key takeaway? 'Andromeda's a train wreck'

"It looks like it has been through some kind of event that caused it to form a lot of stars and then just shut down”

Astronomers can’t agree on how fast the universe is expanding. New approaches are aiming to break the impasse

It is almost 100 years since scientists discovered the universe is expanding. In the decades that followed, the accuracy of the measurements, and interpretations and implications of this discovery, were a source of fierce debate. We now know the universe emerged dramatically from a highly compressed state in an event…

Weird physics at the edges of black holes may help resolve lingering 'Hubble trouble'

The expansion of the universe may not be accelerating at the edges of black holes. If this is the case at all event horizons, this may explain "Hubble tension," and the worst prediction in physics.
