  Edwin (Powell) Hubble - Biography, Discoveries, Nobel Prize, Honors
Hubble's observations in 1923–1924 with the Hooker Telescope established beyond doubt that the fuzzy "nebulae" seen earlier with less sensitive telescopes were not part of our galaxy, as had been thought, but were galaxies themselves, outside the Milky Way.
In 1929 Hubble and Humason formulated the empirical Redshift Distance Law of galaxies, nowadays termed simply Hubble's law, which, if the redshift is interpreted as a measure of recession speed, is consistent with the solutions of Einstein’s equations of general relativity for a homogeneous, isotropic expanding space.
Hubble spent much of the later part of his career attempting to have astronomy considered an area of physics, instead of being its own science.

Using the Hooker Telescope, Hubble identified Cepheid variables (a kind of star; see also standard candle) in several objects, including the Andromeda Galaxy, that, at the time were known as "nebulae" and had been assumed to lie within the Milky Way.
Hubble also devised the most commonly used system for classifying galaxies, grouping them according to their appearance in photographic images.
Hubble also became a member of the Kappa Sigma Fraternity and in 1948 was named Kappa Sigma "Man of the Year".

 The Bruce Medalists: Edwin Hubble
His investigation of these and similar objects, which he called extragalactic nebulae and which astronomers today call galaxies, led to his now-standard classification system of elliptical, spiral, and irregular galaxies, and to proof that they are distributed uniformly out to great distances.
(He had earlier classified galactic nebulae.) Hubble measured distances to galaxies and with Milton L. Humason extended Vesto M. Slipher’s measurements of their redshifts, and in 1929 Hubble published the velocity-distance relation which, taken as evidence of an expanding Universe, is the basis of modern cosmology.

The velocities have not changed significantly from Hubble's era, but the distance estimates to galaxies have increased by roughly a factor of ten, and this has led to the change in the slope of the Hubble Law.
Hubble based distances for several of his galaxies upon Cepheid variables, just as we have, so it must be the distance scale calibration that has changed, in particular the Cepheid calibration.
The peculiar velocities are not simply complications in measuring the Hubble constant, but are worth studying in their own right and place their own constraints on cosmological models.

O'Keefe said he determined that sending a shuttle to Hubble would be too risky, pointing to the report of the Columbia Accident Investigation Board (CAIB) that urged NASA devote all remaining shuttle missions to the International Space Station.

Le télescope spatial Hubble a été nommé en son honneur, ainsi que l'astéroïde (2069) Hubble.
Hubble découvrit cette loi en observant un décalage vers le rouge presque systématique dans les galaxies dont il avait découvert auparavant la nature exacte à l'aide de l'observation d'un certain type d'étoiles variables, les céphéides.
L'erreur commise par Hubble était due à une mauvaise estimation de la magnitude absolue des céphéides, aujourd'hui considérablement mieux connue (voir mesure des distances en astronomie).
