How this entity was disambiguated
This entity first appeared as the object of triple T20480176 — resolving that mention is where its identity was fixed. The disambiguator weighed these candidate entities and picked the highlighted one (or “None”, minting a new entity). This is how homonymy is resolved: the same surface form can point to different entities.

-
A.
Hubble–Humason galaxy redshift measurements
The Hubble–Humason galaxy redshift measurements are a landmark set of observations that extended and refined Edwin Hubble’s work on the expanding universe by systematically measuring the redshifts of distant galaxies.
-
B.
Quasi-Stellar Objects
Quasi-Stellar Objects, commonly known as quasars, are extremely luminous and distant active galactic nuclei powered by supermassive black holes accreting matter at the centers of young galaxies.
-
C.
The Large-Scale Structure of the Universe
The Large-Scale Structure of the Universe is a foundational cosmology book by James Peebles that systematically develops the theory and observations of how matter is distributed on the largest cosmic scales.
-
D.
Tolman surface brightness test
The Tolman surface brightness test is an observational cosmology method that checks whether the universe is expanding by examining how the surface brightness of distant galaxies diminishes with redshift.
-
E.
The Expanding Universe
"The Expanding Universe" is a chapter in Stephen Hawking’s popular science book *A Brief History of Time* that explains how observations and cosmological theory reveal that the universe is growing larger over time.
- F. None of above. chosen
- G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.
