Episode Notes

Since the 1990s, Hubble has gazed upon some of the earliest galaxies Universe. This has allowed astronomers to measure cosmic distance and the Hubble Constant - how fast the cosmos is expanding.

The only problem is that measurements of the local Universe vs. the earliest observable galaxies produce different distance results. This has come to be known as the "Hubble Tension," and its far from resolved.
