Hubble Constant measured
km/(s·Mpc)Present expansion rate of the universe, 67.4 km/(s·Mpc) from the cosmic microwave background — a galaxy 1 Mpc away recedes at 67 km/s.
Age of the Universe measured
sTime since the Big Bang, 13.797 billion years or 4.35 × 10¹⁷ seconds, from fitting the ΛCDM model to the microwave background.
Critical Density of the Universe measured
kg/m³Density 3H₀²/8πG that makes the universe spatially flat, about 8.5 × 10⁻²⁷ kg/m³ — some five hydrogen atoms per cubic metre.
