1 E+26 m
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
To help compare different orders of magnitude, this page lists distances greater than 1026 m (100 Ym or 11,000 million light years). At this scale, expansion of the universe becomes significant. Distance of these objects are derived from their measured redshifts, which depends on the cosmological models used.
- 1.3×1026 m — redshift 6.41 — 13,000 million light years — Distance to the quasar SDSS J1148+5251
- 1.3×1026 m — redshift 10 — 13,200 million light years — Distance to the galaxy Abell 1835 IR1916 (disputed)
- 1.3×1026 m — redshift 1000 — 13,700 million light years — Distance to the cosmic microwave background radiation; radius of the observable universe
- 2.6×1026 m — 27,400 million light years — Diameter of the observable universe; light travel distances greater than this are currently physically meaningless
- 4.4×1026 m — 46,000 million light years — Radius of the universe (comoving distance)
- 5.9×1026 m — 62,000 million light years — Cosmological event horizon: the largest comoving distance from which light will ever reach us (the observer) at any time in the future
- »1027 m — Size of universe beyond the cosmic light horizon, depends on its curvature; if it is zero (i.e. the universe is spatially flat), the value is infinite (see shape of the Universe)
