...team, including Professor of Astronomy John P. Huchra, combined information from the telescope and measurements of the universe's acceleration, compiled in part by Professor of Astronomy Robert P. Kirshner '70, for the new estimate...
...Project Team, which includes Huchra, made independent measurements of the relative distance of different galaxies as well as the speed at which they are moving away from the Earth...
...kick in, gunning the expansion, making it faster."

Meanwhile, Professors of Astronomy Margaret J.Geller and John P. Huchra are measuring thespectra and velocity of distant galaxies at theWhipple Observatory. The pair plans to create athree-dimensional map of galaxy distributionacross the universe. Their unexpected resultsindicate that the universe is made up of giantbubble-like voids, whose boundaries are wheregalaxies reside...
