Extract
The effort to measure the geometry of space by experiment, that is, the determination of the Hubble Constant, Ho, and of the deceleration parameter, qo, led toward the end of the first half of the century, to the classical paper by Humason, Mayall, and Sandage (1956). Their catalogue contains 920 redshifts collected over a twenty-year period (1935–1955). Further redshifts of galaxies were measured to refine such determinations and to study the dynamics of clusters (Zwicky 1933).
