Q: What is the velocity of this galaxy away from the Sun? If rest wavelength = 396.8 nm obs wavelength = 484.1 nm then shift = 87.3 nm shift v = --------------- * c rest wavelength = 66,000 km/s approx Estimate the distance to this galaxy. Using a value of H = 70 km/s/Mpc, we find v 66,000 km/s d = ----- = ------------- H 70 km/s/Mpc = 940 Mpc apporx
