Scientists find a rocky exoplanet rebuilding its atmosphere
... b was, a team headed by Mark Swain of the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, decided to point the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope at the exoplanet instead. To the team’s surprise, observations with Hubble picked up spectral signs of hydrogen cyanide (HCN...

As mystery of the Universe’s expansion rate widens, a simple solution is offered
... 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 Earth, a team of scientists including Nobel laureate Adam Riess of the...

New measurement deepens mystery of Universe’s expansion rate
...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...
