New observational data from the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) confirms prior measurements of distances between nearby stars and galaxies made by the Hubble Space Telescope.
The discrepancy between observation and our current theoretical model of the Universe is more likely to be due to new physics.
The Hubble Constant, a measure of the Universe's expansion, has different values obtained from various measurement methods.
For instance, distant supernovae tracking produced a value of 73 km/s Mpc, while the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) measurements using the Planck satellite produced a value of 67 km/s Mpc.
