TL;DR Summary

The Hubble tension, which arises from the discrepancy in measuring the rate of cosmic expansion, may be even larger than previously thought due to gravitational biases caused by our location within the Laniakea Supercluster. A recent study found that the supercluster biases our observations by about 2% - 3%, in the opposite direction of what was expected. This means that the Hubble tension is 2% - 3% greater than previously estimated. While further observations may help clarify the situation, it is clear that there is still much to learn about the nature of cosmic expansion.
