We know our universe is expanding. But telescopes like Hubble measure an expansion rate that’s faster than predicted, based on models of the early universe. Here’s how Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope will join the quest on cracking the case of this “Hubble Tension” ⬇️

What's going on next door? A new study using Hubble data shows that Andromeda, our nearest major galaxy neighbor, has undergone a 500-million-year decline in star formation – with an even steeper drop in the last 40 million years:

41P likely originated in the Kuiper Belt, a collection of icy bodies beyond Neptune's orbit. The comet was then flung into its current trajectory by Jupiter’s gravity, now visiting our inner solar system every 5.4 years. Find out more:

Astronomers believe that our solar system's early days were pretty chaotic: asteroids, comets, and forming planets smashed together and pelted Earth with debris. Now, Hubble has captured similar collisions in a planetary system around a nearby star:
