Editor’s Note: This post highlights data from Webb science in progress, which has not yet been through the peer-review process.

Measuring the Hubble constant, the rate at which the universe is expanding, is an active area of research among astronomers around the world who analyze data from both ground- and space- based observatories. NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope has already contributed to this ongoing discussion. Earlier this year, astronomers used Webb data containing Cepheid variables and Type Ia supernovae, reliable distance markers to measure the universe’s expansion rate, to confirm NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope’s previous measurements.

I absolutely agree. I have been interested in astronomy for as long as I can remember and I will never get bored with the images it produces.
