As mystery of the Universe’s expansion rate widens, a simple solution is offered
... how far away things are in the Universe. Indeed, this new research uses the same type of object but utilises a different method to calculate the Hubble Constant. Instead of observing one Cepheid at a time with NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope as it makes its 90-minute orbit around...

Space astronomy at the limits of technology
... 2020. My first Great Observatory was the Hubble Space Telescope (HST). I was a team member on the high resolution spectrograph, which was one of the instruments that Ball won the contract for. It was later renamed the Goddard High Resolution Spectrograph (GHRS), since...

...best known science fiction writer, author of The Three-Body Problem, shortly to be a major new Netflix series and the short story, The Wandering Earth, which became a box-...space together. It was a way for people to give hope to themselves, their families or loved ones, in the possibility of a long-term future in the universe. The preservation of such DNA, for example in the case of the Chinese tiger, may be the “last defence of the data of the...

New measurement deepens mystery of Universe’s expansion rate
... the true expansion rate of the Universe, or whether scientists need to come up with a new model for the underlying physics of the Universe in order to explain it. These galaxies are selected from a Hubble Space Telescope program to measure the expansion rate of the universe, called the Hubble constant. The value is calculated by comparing the galaxies' distances to the...

Woes for Webb as the space telescope is delayed again
...The world’s most powerful space telescope and the successor to NASA's famed Hubble Space Telescope, the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has had its launch date delayed again, this time until approximately May 2020. The JWST has been in the making since 1996 when the... lift off without a hitch? Let's not forget JWST’s predecessor, the Hubble Space Telescope. Hubble, which was the JWST of its time, was also beset by numerous technical delays and...

Gravitational waves provide new window on the universe
...no fool-proof way of testing for their presence. The first measurements, which came through on 14 September 2015, sparked the true beginning of a new area in astrophysics - gravitational wave astronomy - made possible..., in space those laws cannot be applied anymore. The more massive an object is, the more the fabric of space-time bends The universe could be likened to a giant rubber sheet where all of the objects within it, such as the planets, ...
