Concept explainers
Galaxies present in the path of the Milky Way will be receding or approaching you, if you were located in a galaxy near the boundary of our observable universe.
Answer to Problem 12Q
Solution:
Galaxies present in the path of the Milky Way will be receding from you, if you were located in a galaxy near the boundary of our observable universe..
Explanation of Solution
If we were located in a galaxy near the boundary of our observable universe, even the galaxies in the path of the Milky Way would appear to be receding from us. The velocities at which the galaxies will recede away from us will be proportional to the distance of the galaxies from us. This interpretation was first made by Edwin Hubble using the observation of redshifts of galaxies.
