Oct 10 at 18:57 comment added Eric Baird Thank you. Apology accepted.
Oct 10 at 12:03 comment added D. Halsey The expansion is only uniform in a universe with uniform density, which is clearly not the case here. Gravitationally bound systems do not participate in the universal expansion.

If our own atoms had been expanding in size at the same rate as everything else, our reference-wavelengths generated by those atoms would be lengthened by the same proportion as the incoming Hubble-shifted light. Please remove your -1 downvote. Thanks.
