Question

A value named for this scientist, which was recently measured by the SH0ES (“shoes”) project, is defined as the time derivative of the scale factor over the scale factor. The reciprocal of that value named for this scientist (10[1])is approximately equal to the age of the universe. This scientist’s namesake law states that further-away galaxies have a faster recessional velocity. A device named for this developer of a namesake “tuning fork” diagram had its optics corrected in a 1993 servicing mission before capturing “Deep Field” and “Ultra Deep Field” images. For 10 points, the James Webb Space Telescope is the successor to a telescope named after what American astronomer? ■END■
