James Webb Telescope Confirms the Universe Is Expanding Faster Than We Thought—and Scientists Still Don’t Know Why
Astronomers have long understood that the universe is expanding—in other words, the space in between cosmic objects that aren’t bound by gravity is getting ever more vast. Then, in 1998, scientists discovered the universe’s rate of expansion is accelerating.
NASA's James Webb Telescope Reveals Universe Expanding Faster Than Thought
The rate of expansion of the universe today is a figure known as the Hubble constant, which is typically measured in units of kilometers per second per megaparsec (km/s/Mpc), where a megaparsec (Mpc) is about 3.26 million light-years.
James Webb telescope confirms we have no idea why the universe is growing the way it is
Astronomers can't agree how fast our cosmos is expanding. A new James Webb Space Telescope study has made the crisis even worse.

5 stunning images of space captured by NASA James Webb Space Telescope’s NIRCam instrument
This NIRCam image showcases Pillars of Creation which is rapidly forming new stars which are estimated to be a few hundred thousand years old. This NIRCam image showcases Galaxy cluster SPT-CL J0615−5746 which was first discovered when was Universe was 460 million years old.
Webb Telescope Confirms Hubble Constant, Challenging Crucial Cosmic Theory
These instruments, like the Hubble Space Telescope, reported a value of around 73 km/s/Mpc. The difference between these numbers is known as the Hubble Tension. "The discrepancy between the observed expansion rate of the universe and the predictions of the standard model suggests that our understanding of the universe may be incomplete,
NASA’s James Webb Telescope uncovers unexpected mysteries of the universe
New observations from the James Webb Space Telescope have reinforced the Hubble tension, a discrepancy between different measurements of the universe's expansion rate. Scientists, using Cepheid variable stars,
