Multiple Choice
Hubble's law: A giant star in another galaxy exploded 67 million years ago, forming a supernova. The event is observed by an astronomer on Earth. Estimate the speed at which the supernova (and its galaxy) recedes from Earth if the Hubble constant is 22 km/s per million light-years. (c = 3.00 × 108 m/s, 1 ly = 9.461 × 1015 m, 1 y = 3.156 × 107 s)
A) 1200 km/s
B) 670 km/s
C) 1500 km/s
D) 2700 km/s
E) 4700 km/s
