Hubble Telescope: Something weird going on in universe – us.bolnews.com

The Hubble Space Telescope is one of the most powerful technologies available for measuring interstellar distances.

Hubble is currently working on a much bigger mission: figuring out how fast the cosmos is expanding.

New evidence suggests that the cosmos is not expanding at the same rate everywhere.

There is a difference in the rate of expansion of the universe as it is around us and observations made after the Big Bang.

NASA observes that something weird is going on in the cosmos based on Hubble data.

NASA notes that the study of how the universe grew and how rapidly it began decades ago in 1920, when measurements by Edwin P Hubble and Georges Lemaitre revealed that galaxies beyond our own were not stationary.

These galaxies are actually travelling away from us.

These galaxies were travelling at a non-uniform, increasing rate, according to Hubble.

The further a galaxy was from Earth, the faster it was moving away.

Since then, scientists have been attempting to comprehend the phenomenon and determine the pace of expansion.

However, now that Hubble data is available, it appears that the expansion is considerably faster than models expected.

Scientists are now awaiting data from the new James Webb Space Telescope, which will offer a more in-depth examination at the matter, as the new data kicks off a new review of our understanding of the universes expansion.

The Webb Space Telescope will extend on Hubbles work by showing these cosmic milepost markers at greater distances or sharper resolution than what Hubble can see, NASA said.
