In 1929, Edwin Hubble announced that almost all galaxies appeared to be moving away from us. In fact, he found that the universe was expanding - with all of the galaxies moving away from each other. This phenomenon was observed as a redshift of a galaxy's spectrum. This redshift appeared to be larger for faint, presumably further, galaxies.

StarChild: The Hubble Space Telescope. The Hubble Space was named after Edwin Hubble, an astronomer whose contributions to astronomy include a classification system for galaxies and the Hubble Constant. The Hubble Constant defines the relationship between a galaxy's distance from the Earth and the speed with which the galaxy is moving away from ...
The Hubble Space Telescope was named after the astronomer Edwin Hubble, who, as a boy, had a paper route. The Hubble Space Telescope was launched on the Space Shuttle on April 24, 1990. It is a very special telescope which orbits far above the Earth. Hubble allows us to see objects more clearly because it is above the clouds in Earth's atmosphere.
El Telescopio Espacial Hubble fue lanzado con el Transbordador Espacial el 24 de april de 1990. Es un telescopio muy especial que órbita la Tierra. Hubble nos permitió ver objetos más claramente porque se encuentra por encima de las nubes de la atmósfera terrestre. Estas nubes bloquean la vista de los telescopios que se encuentran en la ...
Aristotle, who lived from 384 to 322 BC, believed the Earth was round. He thought Earth was the center of the universe and that the Sun, Moon, planets, and all the fixed stars revolved around it. Aristotle's ideas were widely accepted by the Greeks of his time. The exception, a century later, was Aristarchus, one of the earliest believers in a ...

About 100 years ago, astronomer Edwin Hubble made observations that showed the universe was getting bigger and bigger! This led most cosmologists to believe in a theory called the Big Bang. This led most cosmologists to believe in a theory called the Big Bang.
