Recent observations by the Hubble Space Telescope in 2019 and the James Webb Space Telescope in 2023 have confirmed that the universe is expanding at different rates, challenging previous understandings. Lead study author Adam Riess from Johns Hopkins University stated that the possibility of misunderstanding the universe is now real and exciting. A new study published in the Astrophysical Journal Letters has dispelled doubts about measurement inaccuracies.
"With measurement errors negated, what remains is the real and exciting possibility we have misunderstood the universe," lead study author Adam Riess, professor of physics and astronomy at Johns Hopkins University, said in a statement to Live Science. https://t.co/Ri52jagHAq
With both space giants combining their mighty observational powers, any doubts about measurement inaccuracies have been put to rest, according to a new study published in the Astrophysical Journal Letters. https://t.co/Ri52jagHAq
James Webb data suggests we have ‘misunderstood the universe’ https://t.co/6pl7B9t3jD
Then, in 2023, with greater precision, the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) proved the discrepancy wasn’t a fluke. https://t.co/Ri52jagHAq
The problem first gained solid credibility when the venerable Hubble Space Telescope's observations in 2019 indicated something might be amiss. https://t.co/Ri52jagHAq
