A new database from the NASA/IPAC Extragalactic Database (NED) of galaxy Distances (NED-D), normally source for newest precision-based estimates, provides access to oldest redshift-independent extragalactic distances in publication record. Two surprises emerge when early distance estimates are placed chronological order. Both discoveries credited Hubble based on these had fact been made earlier. however, proved case.
