The generalization that the speed of recession of distant galaxies (the red shift) is proportional to their distance from the observer.
An empirical finding linking the distance of a galaxy and the velocity with which it recedes.
The relationship discovered by Edwin Hubble in the 1920s that shows a linear relationship bewteen the reshift of an non-local galaxy and its recessional velocity. This means that the more distant a galaxy is from us, the faster it is moving away from us . This was a key piece of evidence suggesting an expanding Universe and supporting a Big Bang model.
The rate at which a galaxy recedes is directly proportional to its distance away from us (V=H x D, where V is velocity, H is Hubble's constant, and D is distance). This rate can be detected by the cosmological redshift of the object.
The relationship—discovered in 1925 by Edwin Hubble—between a galaxy's distance from us and its velocity through space. The farther away a galaxy is, the faster it is receding from us. The constant of proportionality is the Hubble constant, H0. Hubble's Law is interpreted as evidence that the universe is expanding.
Relationship between a galaxy's distance and its speed of recession. First formulated by Edwin Hubble. v = H * d where v is the speed d is the distance H is Hubble's constant
The distance to a distant galaxy is directly proportional to its observed velocity of recession from the position of observation, therefore implying that the age of the universe is inversely proportional to the constant of proportionality in the mathematical expression of the law. The NAGCS uses algorithms based on this law.
The law of physics that states that the farther a galaxy is from us, the faster it is moving away from us.
The linear relation between the distance to a galaxy and its radial velocity.
A description of the expansion of the Universe, such that the more distant a galaxy lies from us, the faster it is moving away; the relation, v = Hd, between the expansion velocity (),and the distance () of a galaxy, where is the Hubble constant.
Law that relates the observed velocity of recession of a galaxy to its distance from us. The velocity of recession of a galaxy is directly proportional to its distance away.
Hubble's Law is a linear relationship between the distance to a galaxy (R) and the velocity at which that galaxy is moving from us (v) because to the expansion of the universe. Hubble's Law is is v = H R, where H is Hubble's constant. It assumes that the universe is expanding at a constant rate that has reemained constant for all time.
Hubble's law is the statement in physical cosmology that the redshift in light coming from distant galaxies is proportional to their distance. The law was first formulated by Edwin Hubble and Milton Humason in 1929Hubble, Edwin, "http://adsabs.harvard.edu/cgi-bin/nph-bib_query?bibcode=1929PNAS...15..168H&db_key=AST&data_type=HTML&format=&high=42ca922c9c30954 A Relation between Distance and Radial Velocity among Extra-Galactic Nebulae" (1929) Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, Volume 15, Issue 3, pp. 168-173 (http://www.pnas.org/cgi/reprint/15/3/168 Full article, PDF) after nearly a decade of observations. It is considered the first observational basis for the expanding space paradigm and today serves as one of the most often cited pieces of evidence in support of the Big Bang.
