Webb and Hubble confirm Universe's expansion rate
Summary: The James Webb Space Telescope has confirmed the Hubble Space Telescope's measurements of the universe's expansion rate, known as the Hubble constant. The Hubble Tension, a discrepancy between the constant's measured and predicted values, remains a puzzle for cosmologists. The findings support the possibility that an unknown factor is influencing the expansion rate, rather than measurement errors. Future observatories, such as NASA's Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope and ESA's Euclid mission, may help solve the mystery.

Breaking Down Tasks
Summary: Jacob Kaplan-Moss shares a method for breaking down software projects into tasks. The process involves starting with a list of tasks or an idea, thinking through the steps needed to accomplish each task, and evaluating if the task is sufficiently defined. If not, the task should be broken down further using the same algorithm. This skill takes practice and requires a safe learning environment for improvement.
