  9. Hubble's law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hubble's_law

    The Hubble constant is most frequently quoted in km/s/Mpc, which gives the speed of a galaxy 1 megaparsec (3.09 × 10 19 km) away as 70 km/s. Simplifying the units of the generalized form reveals that H 0 specifies a frequency (SI unit: s −1), leading the reciprocal of H 0 to be known as the Hubble time (14.4 billion years). The Hubble ...
