Massive objects curve light, enough so that they can distort the image of things behind them.
When researchers used the Hubble Space Telescope to spot a quasar from the early universe, they used it to estimate the universe's expansion rate and found that it is expanding faster today than it was back then — a finding that disagrees with other measurements.
Now physicists need to figure out if their theories are wrong or if something else strange is going on.
