How do you measure the hubble constant from a graph?

That's going to depend on the type of information that the graph presents. For example, if it's a graph of the Fed's prime lending rate over the past five years, or the CO2 content of the atmosphere since the 16th Century, or the growth of HIV in Africa, there would be no way. On the other hand, if the graph showed the radial velocities of 200 galaxies vs. their measured distances, then you'd have a pretty good chance ... the Hubble Constant would be just the slope of the best fit line on that graph.


What was Edwin Hubble's Home town?

Hubble experienced a heart attack in July 1949 while on vacation in Colorado. He was taken care of by his wife, Grace Hubble, and continued on a modified diet and work schedule. He died of cerebral thrombosis (a spontaneous blood clot in his brain) on September 28, 1953, in San Marino, California. No funeral was held for him, and his wife never revealed his burial site.

How much is the universe expanding each year?

We cannot know for sure, but we're sure that the universe expanded faster than the speed of light. While it is physically impossible for any object to move through space faster than the speed of light (according to Einstein's theory of relativity), it is possible for space itself to expand faster than the speed of light since it is not an object, but the area in which all objects and laws of physics are contained. In fact, space is still expanding faster than the speed of light.
