...spectrum than any such lines ever photographed before. Since red shift is caused by motion, 3C-147, Schmidt decided, must be speeding away from the earth at 76,000 miles per second, almost half the speed of light. He had taken a picture of the fastest object known...
...also, clearly, the most distant. Since the universe is expanding, its parts that are moving fastest must be farthest away. Measured by Hubble's constant, which translates speed into distance, 3C-147 is about 4 billion light-years away from the earth. But Dr. Ira Bowen, director of Mount Wilson and Palomar observatories, prefers to say "several billion" lightyears; he suspects that Hubble's constant may not be accurate over such enormous distances...
