Huchra and his colleagues conclude that astronomers came up with an incorrect value for Hubble's Constant because they limited their observations to relatively nearby clusters of galaxies--those less than 70 million light years away...

...Hubble's Constant, named after the late astronomer Edwin P. Hubble, sets the ratio of the velocity of objects to their distance. Equations for determining the size, age and density of the universe depend critically on plugging in Hubble's Constant...
