Edwin Hubble was an American astronomer who research led to discoveries about
galaxies and the nature of the universe. He settled a long debate by demonstrating that the
Andromeda nebula located outside our galaxy, established the islands universe theory, which
states that galaxies exit outside of our own. His study of the distribution of galaxies resulted
from Hubble’s Constant, a standard relationship between a galaxy distance from the earth and
its speed of recession.
In 1925, Hubble had devised a classification system for the structure of galaxies and
provided conclusively observational evidence for the expansion of the universe. His work
pushed the one-hundred- inch Mount Wilson telescope beyond its capability and provided strong
impetus for the construction of an instrument twice its size at Mount Palomar, where Hubble
used during his last years of research. The telescope that bears his name was launching on a
space shuttle in 1990 and orbits the earth, collecting datum about the size of the universe.
