These Gravitationally Lensed Supernovae Could Resolve The Hubble Tension

This screenshot shows an artist's illustration of a supernova explosion. Astronomers detected a pair of ancient supernova that are being gravitationally lensed by galaxy clusters. The pair of exploding stars could help cosmologists solve the Hubble Tension and determine the value of the Hubble Constant, the rate of expansion of the Universe. Image Credit: ESA/Hubble (L.

Researchers used the JWST to find a pair of strong gravitationally lensed Supernovae. They exploded billions of years ago, and their light is just reaching us now. Because of the lensing, we’ll see multiple images of them, separated by years or decades. This could reveal the expansion rate of the Universe, and provide a solution to the Hubble Tension.
