Galaxy Morph (11-8-2024)

- Galaxy Morph length
- Class e0 section might lead to a bit of redundancy
Hubble's Law
- From Julio - “the column listed as “redshift (angstroms)” might be misleading. Redshift is technically delta lambda/lambda_0 but the column is just looking for delta lambda. Might be a good idea to change the column's label to “delta lambda (angstroms)” to avoid confusion.

- Total number of points are currently 53. Not the usually 65.

Paleoclimate Lab
Completed Changes
