Everyone has seen the footage of Neil Armstrong's first steps on the Moon, and NASA's Apollo 11 Mission is considered one of mankind's greatest achievements.
Model suggests how early dark energy could resolve the Hubble tension
The universe is continuously expanding, yet the exact rate at which it does so remains unclear, and has so far only been approximated using NASA's Hubble Space Telescope and other similar instruments. Moreover, in recent years, astronomers using the Hubble telescope...
