JWST rules out most likely culprit for "Crisis in Cosmology"

In this episode of Night Sky News we're chatting about the latest results from the AAS243 meeting including the Big Ring megastructure of galaxies, the most distant fast radio burst, and of course the latest from JWST on the "Crisis in Cosmology" (aka the Hubble Tension) which has ruled out the most likely culprit that we all had our money on. Is it time for some new physics?
