However, a persistent difference, called the Hubble Tension, is seen between the value of the constant measured with a wide range of independent distance indicators and its value predicted from the afterglow of the Big Bang. The NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope has confirmed that the Hubble Space Telescope’s keen eye was _right all along_ (emphasis mine), erasing any lingering doubt about Hubble’s measurements.
This feels like bad reporting to me. A better title would be "Webb confirms Hubble's measurement of Universe’s expansion rate", but that would probably be less exciting...
Thank you! They should have clarified this up front in the title or the abstract. The original article makes it sound like it has been resolved:
