 | This is the sandbox page where you will draft your initial Wikipedia contribution.
If you're starting a new article, you can develop it here until it's ready to go live. If you're working on improvements to an existing article, copy only one section at a time of the article to this sandbox to work on, and be sure to use an edit summary linking to the article you copied from. Do not copy over the entire article. You can find additional instructions here. Remember to save your work regularly using the "Publish page" button. (It just means 'save'; it will still be in the sandbox.) You can add bold formatting to your additions to differentiate them from existing content. |

[edit]Article body
[edit]On 13 January 1994, NASA formally announced a completion of its repairs on the main mirror of the [Hubble Space Telescope] allowing the sharper images and, thus, more accurate analysis of its observations. Briefly after the repairs were made, Freedman's Key Project analyzed the recession velocity of M100 from the core of the Virgo cluster, offering a Hubble Constant measurement of 80+-17 km s^-1 Mpc^-1. Later the same year, [Adam Guy Reiss] et al utilized an empirical method of visual band light shape curves to more finely estimate the luminosity of 1a Supernovae. This further minimized the systemic measurement errors of the [Hubble Constant] to 67+-7 km s^-1 Mpc^-1 from 53+-11 km s^-1 Mpc^-1. Reiss's measurements on the recession velocity of the nearby Virgo cluster more closely agree with subsequent analyses of Cepheid calibrations of 1a supernovae, which estimates a Hubble Contstant of 55-60 km/sec/mpc. Within the next decade, in 2003 Spergel's analysis of the cosmic microwave background during the first year observations of the Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe satellite (WMAP) further agreed with the estimated expansion rates for local galaxies.
