Phrases 21
- Hubble constantA number that expresses the rate of expansion of the universe; the velocity at which a distant object is receding from the Earth divided by its distance; its reciprocal determines the age of the universe.
- Hubble lawA law stating that the velocity at which a distant object is receding from the Earth (as measured by its redshift) is proportional to its distance; observational evidence for an expanding universe.
- hubble-bubbleA bubbling sound.
- Hubble volumeThe spherical region of the observable universe surrounding an observer beyond which objects recede from that observer at a rate greater than the speed of light due to the expansion of the Universe.
- Hubble diagramA diagram, used to illustrate the Hubble law, in which the velocity of an object (assumed to be approximately proportional to its redshift) is plotted with respect to its distance from the observer.
- Hubble distanceSynonym of Hubble length: A unit of distance in cosmology, defined as the speed of light multiplied by the Hubble time, and equivalent to 4,550 million parsecs or 14.4 billion light years.
- Hubble flowThe motion of galaxies due to the expansion of the universe
- Hubble horizonSynonym of cosmological horizon: The distance from an observer in a universe beyond which it is impossible for the observer to see, as the light (or other luminal particles) cannot have travelled that distance over the current age of that …
- Hubble lengthA unit of distance in cosmology, defined as the speed of light multiplied by the Hubble time, and equivalent to 4,550 million parsecs or 14.4 billion light years.
- Hubble sphereHubble volume
- Hubble tensionThe inconsistency of different measurements observed by cosmologists in determining how fast the universe is expanding.
- Hubble timeA constant defined as 1/H_0, where H_0 is the Hubble constant. 1/H_0 is equal to 4.55×10¹⁷ seconds or 14.4 billion years.
- hubble-bubblesplural of hubble-bubble: A bubbling sound.
- stubby HubbleA spy satellite with a design similar to the Hubble Space Telescope.
- Hubble diagramsplural of Hubble diagram: A diagram, used to illustrate the Hubble law, in which the velocity of an object (assumed to be approximately proportional to its redshift) is plotted with respect to its distance from the observer.
- Hubble distancesplural of Hubble distance: A unit of distance in cosmology, defined as the speed of light multiplied by the Hubble time, and equivalent to 4,550 million parsecs or 14.4 billion light years.
