New Webb Telescope Data Challenges Long-Standing Hubble Tension

Analysis suggests the universe's expansion rate may be more consistent than previously thought, raising questions about established measurements.

Scientists used the James Webb Space Telescope to measure the universe's expansion rate, focusing on 10 nearby galaxies.
The new data indicates an expansion rate of 70 km/s/Mpc, which aligns closely with earlier measurements.
This finding suggests there may not be a significant discrepancy, known as the 'Hubble tension,' between different measurement methods.
The study employed three independent methods, all yielding consistent results within the margin of error.
Further observations with the Webb Telescope are expected to provide more clarity on this cosmological issue.
