They then used exploding stars called Type Ia supernovae to measure greater distances. Using both approaches, scientists could estimate the Hubble constant, named after scientist Edwin Hubble, a value that can estimate the age of the universe by measuring the expansion rate.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou are getting the most precise measure of the expansion rate for the universe from the gold standard of telescopes and cosmic mile markers,\u201d declared Nobel Laureate Adam Riess, who runs SHOES, a group that investigates<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>According to the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), \u201csomething weird\u201d is going on in the universe.
