Multiple Choice
Hubble's law: A galaxy is observed receding from Earth with a speed of 2800 km/s. If the Hubble constant is 22 km/s per million light-years, estimate how many years ago the light that we presently see from the galaxy actually left the galaxy. (c = 3.00 × 108 m/s, 1 ly = 9.461 × 1015 m, 1 y = 3.156 × 107 s)
A) 1.3 × 108 y
B) 4.2 × 108 y
C) 4.2 × 107 y
D) 1.4 × 107 y
E) 4.2 × 106 y
