The Doppler shift is the effect of sound increasing or decreasing in pitch as an object moves towards or away from you. ... Light works the same way, except light is shifted to redder colours when an object is moving away, and to blue colours when an object is travelling towards us. ... Almost every object he observed had its light stretched to redder colours, indicating essentially everything in the Universe was moving away from us. ... So the Hubble constant tells us how old the Universe is. ...

... The concerns here are similar to those for observing bright targets; saturation and blooming of the bright companion PSF must not impact the faint target. Also, one may need to consider subtracting the PSF of the bright object, and effects which limit the accuracy of that subtraction. If the bright companion will saturate and bloom, it will be necessary to rotate the CCD so that blooming along the CCD columns does not obliterate the faint target. ...

... 739C As one part of a program to detect complete samples of active extragalactic objects, the 3.36x10^-3 sr field centered on alpha=12h04min, delta=+11deg30' (1950.0) was mapped with the Very Large Array at 1411MHz. Sixty-seven maps cover this field so that no point is more than 15arcmin from the nearest map center. ... The rms map noise is 0.030 + 0.001 mJy, and the resulting source list is complete to a map peak flux density S_p = 0.2 mJy within 25 arcmin of the field center. ...
