The Latest Breaking News from Edwin Hubble

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…

A new Hubble Telescope image shines a spotlight on a classic spiral galaxy named NGC 3430.

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.

Astronomers, maybe more than anyone, appreciate what an island of perfection our Earth is. In 1924, this appreciation took on a whole new level of undersatnding.

Vera C. Rubin Observatory, with the largest camera ever built, might finally find evidence of the multiverse, which seemed like some kind of science fiction for decades. The post Scientists Share About The Possibility Of Existence Of Other Universes, People Are Intrigued first appeared on Bored Panda.

Imagine keeping a laser beam trained on a dime that’s 200 miles away. Now imagine doing that continuously for 24 hours, while riding a merry-go-round. Seem difficult? Well, that’s basically what the Hubble Space Telescope does.

The universe is undeniably vast, and from our perspective, it may seem like Earth is in the middle of everything. But is there a center of the cosmos, and if so, where is it? If the Big Bang started the universe, then where did it all come from, and where…

It’s one of the biggest puzzles in cosmology. Why two different methods used to calculate the rate at which the universe is expanding don’t produce the same result. Known as the Hubble tension, the enigma suggests that there could be something wrong with the standard model of cosmology used to…

Astronomers, maybe more than anyone, appreciate what an island of perfection our Earth is. Our orbit may put us at a perfect distance from the sun for life to flourish, but it is too small to easily help astronomers determine how big the universe is.

A new theory of quantum gravity, which attempts to unite quantum physics with Einstein's relativity, could help solve the puzzle of the universe's expansion, a theoretical paper suggests.

Scientists think they've uncovered a cosmic "glitch" in gravity that could require a revision in Einstein's theory of general relativity.
