UVU-led team finds evidence challenging universe expansion rate models

In this mosaic image stretching 340 light-years across, Webb’s Near-Infrared Camera (NIRCam) displays the Tarantula Nebula star-forming region in a new light, including tens of thousands of never-before-seen young stars that were previously shrouded in cosmic dust. The most active region appears to sparkle with massive young stars, appearing pale blue. (Courtesy of NASA, ESA, CSA, STScI, Webb ERO Production Team)A new Utah Valley University stud…

UVU professor, UVU student, and renowned astrophysicists add fuel to the Hubble tension - Utah Policy

A new study presented by Utah Valley University (UVU) astrophysicist Joseph B. Jensen, Ph.D., undergraduate student Mikaela Cowles, and other astronomers around the world includes compelling new evidence that the universe is expanding faster than current theories predict, challenging current scientific models.  “This is a major step forward,” said Jensen, professor of physics at UVU and a leading author of the study. “By using a completely indep…
