Hubble's Law is similar to the
Cosmological Constant
the Albert
Einstein abandoned (called his greatest
mistake by Einstein himself). The Hubble Constant is
a value that corresponds to the expanding
Universe.
While constantly being refined, the value for
Hubble's Constant is around 71 km/s/Mpc.

We can use this law to determine
distance to a
galaxy:

To determine the value of v, we can
use the formula for determining
redshift:
