Estimate the distance to a galaxy based on its recessional velocity using Hubble's Law.
Last updated: March 2026 | By ForgeCalc Engineering
Hubble's Law is the observation in physical cosmology that galaxies are moving away from the Earth at speeds proportional to their distance. In other words, the farther they are, the faster they are moving away.
This observation was the first observational basis for the expansion of the universe and today serves as one of the pieces of evidence most often cited in support of the Big Bang model.
Where v is the recessional velocity, Hâ‚€ is the Hubble constant, and d is the proper distance to the galaxy.
