The universe expands over time, but how fast it's expanding has seemed to differ depending on whether you looked early in the universe's history or the present day. If true, this would have presented a major problem to the gold-standard model that represents our best understanding of the universe. But thanks to the new James Webb Space Telescope, scientists from the University of Chicago ... Read full article.
