Notes:
[Auszug] New Nubble Space Telescope observations of Cepheid variable stars in the nearby galaxy M96 give a distance to the host galaxy group, Leo I, of 11.6 ± 0.8 Mpc. This value, used in conjunction with several reliable secondary indicators of relative distance, constrains the distances to more ...
