A Quick Look at the Universe's Expansion May Not Be The Same In All Directions (04-08-2020)
One of the fundamental ideas of cosmology is that everything looks the same in all directions if you look over large enough distances. A new study using data from NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory and ESA's XMM-Newton is challenging that basic notion.
