"We are at an interesting juncture in cosmology. With new methods and technology, the accuracy in measurement of the has vastly improved, but a recent tension has arisen that is either signaling or as-yet unrecognized uncertainties. Just under a century ago, Edwin Hubble revolutionized cosmology with his discovery that the . Hubble found a relationship between radial velocity and the distance to nearby galaxies, determining the proportionality constant Ho (=v/r), that now bears his name. The Hubble constant remains one of the most important parameters in cosmology. An accurate value of Ho can provide a powerful constraint on the cosmological model describing the evolution of the universe. In addition, it characterizes the expansion rate of the Universe at the current time, defines the observable size of the Universe, and its inverse sets the ."
