(a) What is the approximate speed relative to us of a galaxy near the edge of the known universe, some 10 Gly away?speed of light is this? Note that we have observed galaxies moving away from us at greater than 0.9c .
Definition Definition Rate at which light travels, measured in a vacuum. The speed of light is a universal physical constant used in many areas of physics, most commonly denoted by the letter c . The value of the speed of light c = 299,792,458 m/s, but for most of the calculations, the value of the speed of light is approximated as c = 3 x 10 8 m/s.
