The Hubble constant is the rate at which our universe is expanding and scientists measuring from different ends of the universe disagree. Fortunately, the discovery of early lensed supernovae, like Supernova Hope, give scientists a new way to measure the rate and hopefully relieve some tension in the debate.
Join us this week as Mike discusses how we measure the expansion of the universe and why Supernova Hope may help solve the Hubble tension problem.
