Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -It took the same amount of time for all the dots to change their positions, so the more distant dots appeared to be moving faster. That’s how it works with the Universe. Because space itself is expanding, the more further a galaxy is, the faster it seems to be receding.
Detailed explanation-2: -Similarly the expansion of the universe causes galaxies further away from each other to increase in distance faster than galaxies closer to each other.
Detailed explanation-3: -The American astronomer Edwin Hubble made the observations in 1925, proving that there is a direct relationship between the speeds of distant galaxies and their distances from Earth.
