The Hubble Space Telescope is one of the most powerful technologies available for measuring interstellar distances.<\/p>\n
Hubble is currently working on a much bigger mission: figuring out how fast the cosmos is expanding.<\/p>\n
New evidence suggests that the cosmos is not expanding at the same rate everywhere.<\/p>\n
There is a difference in the rate of expansion of the universe as it is around us and observations made after the Big Bang.<\/p>\n
NASA observes that something weird is going on in the cosmos based on Hubble data.<\/p>\n
NASA notes that the study of how the universe grew and how rapidly it began decades ago in 1920, when measurements by Edwin P Hubble and Georges Lemaitre revealed that galaxies beyond our own were not stationary.<\/p>\n
These galaxies are actually travelling away from us.<\/p>\n
These galaxies were travelling at a non-uniform, increasing rate, according to Hubble.<\/p>\n
The further a galaxy was from Earth, the faster it was moving away.<\/p>\n
Since then, scientists have been attempting to comprehend the phenomenon and determine the pace of expansion.<\/p>\n
However, now that Hubble data is available, it appears that the expansion is considerably faster than models expected.<\/p>\n
Scientists are now awaiting data from the new James Webb Space Telescope, which will offer a more in-depth examination at the matter, as the new data kicks off a new review of our understanding of the universes expansion.<\/p>\n
The Webb Space Telescope will extend on Hubbles work by showing these cosmic milepost markers at greater distances or sharper resolution than what Hubble can see, NASA said.<\/p>\n
