Do you think you’re smarter than a 5th grader about how the Universe works? You might be, if you read professor @EveVavagiakis children's book, “I’m a Photon," which uses rhymes and illustrations to explain scientific concepts.

When it comes to the tiny particles that make up our universe, do you think you know more than a seven-year-old?

The Universe is expanding—fast. Maybe too fast. A new measurement from @DScol's team confirms past, hotly debated results: the Universe’s expansion rate doesn’t match our predictions. Could this escalate the Hubble tension into a full-blown crisis?

The Universe really seems to be expanding fast. Too fast, even. A new measurement confirms what previous — and highly debated — results had shown: The Universe is expanding faster than predicted by...
