A Relation between Distance and Radial Velocity among Extra-Galactic Nebulae
FIRST EDITION IN SCARCE ORIGINAL WRAPPERS IN PRISTINE CONDITION of Edwin Hubble’s landmark paper documenting what would later become known as Hubble’s Law, stating that there is a proportional relationship between a galaxy’s recession velocity and its distance from the Earth. One of the most profound discoveries in science, Hubble’s data provided evidence of an expanding universe, thereby providing the essential argument for the Big Bang theory, proving the natural implications of Einstein’s General Theory of Relativity, and ultimately allowing for the determination of the age of the universe.
