	Edwin Hubble - MSN Encarta
		Edwin Hubble (1889–1953), American astronomer, who made important contributions to the study of galaxies, the expansion of the universe, and the size of the universe.
		Hubble was the first to discover that fuzzy patches of light in the sky called spiral nebula were actually galaxies like Earth’s galaxy, the Milky Way.
		In 1929 Hubble compared the distances of the galaxies to the speed at which they were moving away from Earth, and he found a direct and very consistent correlation: The farther a galaxy was from Earth, the faster it was receding.

	Edwin Hubble
		Edwin Powell Hubble (November 20, 1889 - September 28, 1953) was a noted American astronomer who was able to show that the universe is expanding.
		Hubble was born on in Marshfield, Missouri and his studies at the University of Chicago concentrated on mathematics and astronomy which led to a B.S. degree in 1910.
		Hubble's observations in 1923-1924 with the Hooker Telescope established beyond doubt that the fuzzy "nebulae" seen earlier with less powerful telescopes were not part of our galaxy, as had been thought, but were galaxies themselves, outside the Milky Way.

		Edwin Hubble by means of a telescope with diameter of a mirror on observatory Mount-Willson has proved 250 sm, that the Andromeda's fog and some other fogs have a star structure and are far outside the Milky Way.
		Hubble has found out, that between beam speeds of movement of galaxies and distances up to them there is a linear dependence (Hubble's law), and has defined numerical value of factor of this dependence (Hubble's constant).
		Edwin Hubble was one of oustanding astronomers of XX century and the pioneer of studying of far star systems.

	EDWIN HUBBLE 1889-1953 By Allan Sandage (1989, JRASC Vol. 83, No.6) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		There is Hubble's zone of avoidance, the Hubble galaxy type, the Hubble sequence, the Hubble luminosity law for reflection nebulae, the Hubble luminosity profile for E galaxies, the Hubble constant, the Hubble time, the Hubble diagram, the Hubble redshift-distance relation, the Hubble radius for the universe, and now the Hubble Space Telescope.
		As with Hubble's Cepheid paper 5 years before, and his space distribution paper to come 5 years in the future, Hubble's (1929b) discovery paper of the expansion was written so convincingly that it was believed almost immediately.
		In perhaps the most important paper on the series, Hubble and Humason (1931) showed beyond doubt (a) the existence of the effect, (b) that it was linear with distance, and (c) that the brightest members of clusters are predominantly E galaxies (a major discovery related to galaxy and cluster formation).

	Edwin Hubble
		In 1925, Hubble invented a simple classification system for galaxies by using their shape (spiral, elliptical, and irregular) and the degree to which their shape was pronounced (such as a nearly circular elliptical is an E0 and a very elongated elliptical is an E7).
		Hubble showed that the high redshifts (discovered by Vesto M. Slipher) of distant galaxies showed that the galaxies are speeding away at possibly thousands of miles per second.
		Hubble invented a constant, known as Hubble's Constant, that is equal to the velocity of a receding galaxy divided by the distance to it.

		Hubble was able to measure the distances to only a handful of other galaxies, but he realised that as a rough guide he could take their apparent brightness as an indication of their distance.

		When Hubble plotted the redshift vs. the distance of the galaxies, he found a surprising relation: more distant galaxies are moving faster away from us.
		Hubble and Humason announced their result in 1931: the recession speed = H × distance, where H is a number now called the Hubble constant.

	Hubble, Edwin Powell (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Hubble's interest in astronomy flowered at the University of Chicago, where he was inspired by the astronomer George E. Hale.
		The universe, long considered static, was expanding; and, even more remarkably, as Hubble discovered in 1929, the universe was expanding in such a way that the ratio of the speed of the galaxies to their distance is a constant now called Hubble's constant.
		Although Hubble was correct that the universe was expanding, his calculation of the value of the constant was incorrect, implying that the Milky Way system was larger than all other galaxies and that the entire universe was younger than the surmised age of the Earth.
