Astronomy question:
Answer correctly and read the questions corretly, this is all one quesiton if done correclty and organized I will write a very nice review about you!
1. How did Edwin Hubble measure the distance to the Andromeda Galaxy?
He deduced it from its redshift.
He measured its parallax.
He used Cepheid variables in the Andromeda Galaxy.
He used white dwarf supernovae in the Andromeda Galaxy.
Please anwer the quesiton correctly and take your time Convert light-minutes to km by following the steps described below.1. A) What is the speed of light (300,000,000 m/s) in km/s? Note that 1 km = 1000 m.1. B)Use your answer to the previous question to find the distance traveled by light in one minute. Give your answer in millions of km. (Note that 1 million = 106).
Part A
What was the distance between the points that would someday become, respectively, the center of the Milky
Way Galaxy and the center of the Virgo Cluster at the time of decoupling? (The present separation is 18
Mpc.)
Express your answer using two significant figures.

The two theories always make very different predictions, and only Einstein's theory works. Einstein's theory is newer, and scientists alvways prefer newer theories. Newton's theory was never useful, so it had to be replaced by something. Einstein's gravity makes correct predictions in a few cases where Newton's…arrow_forwardRead all the instructions carefully then answer.
