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.
Phantom Galaxy Seen Through James Webb and Hubble Telescope

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.
James Webb Space Telescope finds smallest asteroids ever seen between Mars and Jupiter
By reverse-engineering James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) exoplanet data, a team of astronomers just spotted dozens of tiny asteroids — including the smallest ever seen in the main belt between Mars and Jupiter.
Cracks in cosmological theory: James Webb telescope is challenging what we know about the universe
When the James Webb Telescope came online in 2021, it promised to give a clearer picture of the universe that could help cosmologists better measure some of these distances and therefore the expansion rate. But the high-resolution images thus far have confirmed that the tension persists.
Webb Telescope Confirms the Universe Is Expanding at an Unexpected Rate
Two years of data from NASA's James Webb Space Telescope have now validated the Hubble Space Telescope's earlier finding that the rate of the universe's expansion is faster - by a
'Our understanding of the universe may be incomplete': James Webb Space Telescope data suggests we need a 'new cosmic feature' to explain it all
"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. "
James Webb Space Telescope Exposes a Cosmic Mystery That Could Change Everything We Know!
The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has provided a stunning new glimpse into the cosmos, revealing findings that challenge one of the most persistent mysteries in modern astrophysics. For over a decade,
Universe expanding faster than physics can explain: Webb telescope confirms mysterious growth spurt
When two of humanity’s most powerful eyes on the cosmos agree something strange is happening, astronomers tend to pay attention. Now, the James Webb Space Telescope has backed up what Hubble has been telling us for years: the universe is expanding faster than our best physics can explain,
