Hubble Tension: NASA’s James Webb Telescope, Hubble Space Telescope to find out truth about Universe’s expansion rate

Scientists believe that our universe is expanding at a rapid rate, but there is a problem. A puzzle of sorts is there and it needs to be solved which is called the "Hubble Tension," it avers that the current rate of the expansion of the universe is faster than what astronomers expect it to be. Therefore, to understand the Universe's expansion rate, NASA's James Webb Telescope and Hubble Space Telescope have joined hands to find the inconsistency in measurements. The telescope's high-resolution data will help researchers study the puzzle and find out what really is happening with our Universe. Check out how cosmologists are planning to solve the errors and bring accuracy. Universe expansion rateAccording to a NASA report, the Hubble Space Telescope has been studying the current expansio...
