"Neutron Star Collisions: A Novel Method for Measuring Universe Expansion"

Astrophysicists from the Niels Bohr Institute propose a novel method to measure the expansion of the universe by studying colliding neutron stars. By analyzing the symmetry and simplicity of the resulting kilonovae explosions, researchers can calculate the distance to galaxies containing kilonovae, providing an independent method to determine distances. This new approach may help resolve the discrepancy between the two primary methods currently used to measure the expansion of the universe, known as the Hubble constant. However, more examples are needed to establish a robust result.
