Cosmic Expansion Rate RechnerFormel

## How the Cosmic Expansion Rate Works

Edwin Hubble discovered that galaxies recede from us at speeds proportional to their distance.

### Hubble-Lemaitre Law

**v = H0 * d**

- *H0* is the Hubble constant (around 70 km/s/Mpc)
- *d* is the co-moving distance in megaparsecs

This linear relation holds for nearby galaxies; at cosmological distances, corrections from the Friedmann equations are needed.

Lösungsbeispiel

A galaxy sits 100 Mpc away with H0 = 70 km/s/Mpc.

  1. v = H0 * d
  2. v = 70 * 100
  3. v = 7 000 km/s
