Despite a century of measurements, astronomers can’t agree on the rate at which the universe is expanding. A technique that relies on measuring distances to a specific type of aging star in other ...
A new set of precision distance measurements made with an international collection of radio telescopes have greatly increased the likelihood that theorists need to revise the “standard model” that ...
Physicists have improved the accuracy of a technique that uses variable stars to measure distances in the universe, providing a new figure for its expansion rate. When you purchase through links on ...
A new application of laser technology known as two-way dual-comb ranging (TWDCR) has demonstrated with unprecedented precision in measuring the distance between instruments more than 100 kilometers ...
Recreation of Baryon Acoustic Oscillations. After a complex statistical analysis of some one million galaxies, a team of researchers at several Chinese universities, and the University of Cordoba was ...
The cosmic distance ladder employs a series of methods to measure increasingly vast astronomical distances, with each technique building upon the previous one for verification. Parallax, using stellar ...
A cosmic measurement technique independent of all others adds strong evidence pointing to a problem with the current theoretical model describing the composition and evolution of the Universe. A new ...
