In 1929 the astronomer Edwin Hubble measured the velocities of a large selection of galaxies. He expected that about equal numbers would be moving toward and away from us. After all, the Earth isn't a particularly special place in the universe. Instead, he discovered that almost all galaxies are moving away from us! Since the time of Hubble we have observed millions of galaxies with better equipment and verified his results.
so if you look up at the sky no matter where you are that almost all galaxies are moving away from us!
Wouldn't that mean that we are the center of the universe? I just don't get this?? That would be arrogant, So
that said, then if we are not the center, and all the stars are moving away from us, then how is that?
If we are on the side lines and the universe went past us, then that means there should be stars in one area that are not moving, example: if you look out from the US verse China, the ones on chinas side are still, and the ones on the US are moving? i just don't get it, can someone please enplane this to me? Thank you
