Take a deep breath: the universe is not just big it’s mind-bogglingly, practically scandalously huge. And it’s growing. A century ago, Edwin Hubble peered through his telescope and shattered human ...

For all these reasons, we too support renaming the Hubble-Lemaître law the Hubble-Lemaître-Slipher law. But we acknowledge such a reconsideration would likely be difficult.

This law uses the also-eponymous Hubble constant to describe the rate at which the universe is expanding.

How did a Cepheid variable star help Edwin Hubble prove the Andromeda Nebula was a galaxy? Roger BradySan Quentin, California ...

The new perception of the size of the universe allowed Hubble, several years later, to go further and propose Hubble’s Law, a theory of the expansion of the universe, yet later shown to have ...

Hubble also noted that the further a galaxy was, the faster it was moving away. Based on Hubble’s observations, the astronomer came up with Hubble’s law which showed a correlation between how ...

A century ago, humans didn't know other galaxies existed. Here's how Edwin Hubble changed that view.

Edwin Powell Hubble is renowned for determining that there are other galaxies in the Universe beyond the Milky Way, and for observing that the universe is expanding at a constant rate. Hubble was ...

In standard cosmology, due directly to the Hubble Law, redshift is also assumed to be a distance indicator.

The Hubble law implies that the universe is expanding. NASA's Hubble Space Telescope, launched into low Earth orbit in 1990, has been a vital instrument for exploring the universe for over three ...
