Check out what the @NASAHubble Space Telescope looked at on my birthday! #Hubble30
Dr. Edwin Hubble found that the Andromeda nebula is the most distant object known and is not part of the Milky Way Galaxy. Astronomer Edwin Powell Hubble, of the Mount Wilson Observatory of the Carnegie Institution at Pasadena, California, has solved the mystery of the spiral nebulae, the great
Astronomer Edwin Hubble, of the Mount Wilson Observatory at Pasadena, California, has solved the mystery of the spiral nebulae. The spiral nebulae look like hazy pin-wheels in the sky. He has determined that these objects are much more distant than previously thought.
Students will learn about Hubble's Law and how this allows astronomers to measure the distance to faraway objects. Students will learn to combine these physics and chemistry concepts to answer a fundamental question about a mysterious phenomenon in our universe (gamma-ray bursts).
the Andromeda Nebula. Hubble estimates that the Andromeda Nebula is as large and holds as much matter as the Milky Way Galaxy. The Andromeda Nebula might contain three to four billion stars that make one billion times the light of the Sun. The photographs Hubble took showed that there were individu al stars in the nebula. They also
On December 30, 1924, Hubble announced that he had taken photographic plates of a few bright spiral nebulae with Mount Wilson’s Hooker telescope, the largest relecting telescope in the world. According to Hubble, “The 100-inch relector partially resolved a few of the nearest, neighboring nebulae into swarms of stars.”
The value of Hubble's constant remained uncertain, giving a range in age for the universe of 12-20 billion years. 2006 Age: 13.7 Billion Years Size: 94 Billion Light Years. The most distant objects in the Universe are 47 billion light years away, making the size of the observable Universe 94 billion light years across.
Tell the students that they will use this data to construct a Hubble plot for supernovae using modern data. Teacher Note: A good example to use here is how you can tell distances to people in a photograph. If you know how tall they actually are you can guess how far from the camera everyone is standing.
Hubble studied was known from how the Cepheid changes its brightness. Scientists had already known exactly how light dims over distance. The distance to the star, and the nebula it is located in, can be found by comparing the apparent brightness of these stars to their true brightness. Dr. Hubble’s work builds on earlier
