| | | | | The distance scale is fundamental to cosmology. How big is the universe? is pretty much the first question we ask when we look at the Big Picture. The primary yardstick we use to describe the scale of the universe is Hubble's constant: the H0 in v = H0 D that relates the recession velocity (redshift)... | |
