To solve the Crisis in Cosmology, astronomers are measuring the Hubble constant with magnetars, neutron stars with strong magnetic fields.
A new way of measuring the Hubble constant with magnetars

Astrophysical Masers, Megamasers, and their important role in astronomy
Masers are an example of how naturally occurring phenomena could create coherent and amplified radiation making them useful in astronomy
Can Dark Energy be studied using Gravitational Waves?
Introduction Before talking about dark energy, we need to talk about gravitational waves. In his theory of General Relativity, Albert Einstein predicted the existence of gravitational waves. Since then, astronomers have recognized the usefulness it provides for humanity to understand the universe in new ways. Much like what radio astronomy did in the 1930s. With […]
Could gravitinos be the solution to the Hubble Tension?
Physicists have theorized that supersymmetric dark matter particles could be the solution to the Hubble Tension. One of these supersymmetric particles could be the hypothetical gravitino. The gravitino is the supersymmetric partner of the as of yet undiscovered graviton, the hypothesized messenger particle for gravity. The Hubble Tension and Supersymmetry A research paper recently published […]
