Several decades after
Edwin Hubble published his findings that the farther galaxies are drifting away faster than the nearby galaxies, Alan Goth was able to establish his Big Bang theory.
Hubble was named after the astronomer
Edwin Hubble. Astronomers are scientists who study space.
Steidel is an astronomy professor at California Institute of Technology, which, in combination with the University of California, is planning the Thirty Meter Telescope at Mauna Kea.Even its 98-foot-diameter light-collecting area will pale next to the European Extremely Large Telescope, which will possess a collecting area 138 feet across.For comparison, consider that the famous telescope on Southern CaliforniaAAEs Mount Wilson, with which
Edwin Hubble made some of the greatest scientific discoveries of the 20th century, had a mirror slightly larger than 8 feet across.The official date of Aofirst lightAo, when all three telescopes begin their work, is 2018.
The astronomer usually credited for the discovery that the Universe is expanding,
Edwin Hubble, was not in fact the first astronomer to provide observational evidence of an expansion.
The nebula was discovered by William Herschel in 1783 but its variability was only recognised by
Edwin Hubble in 1916.
The story details the contributions made by not only
Edwin Hubble but also the many talented and scientists working behind the scenes, including Henrietta Leavitt, Vesto Slipher, Georges Lemaitre, Milton Humason, and Harlow Shapley.
As seen, this result provides a complete theoretical ground to the linear Hubble law, empirically obtained by
Edwin Hubble for small distances, and also to the non-linearity of the Hubble law observed at large distances close to the size of the Metagalaxy (the non-linearity is explained due to the exponent in our solution, which is sufficient at large r).

Enhanced with 74 photographs, cross-references, an extensive bibliography, a general index, and two subject indexes (one by discipline and one by year of birth) the scientists range from Rachel Carson, to
Edwin Hubble, to Linus Pauling, to Werner von Braun.
The blend of elegant deep-space photographs with timelines, commentary, and snippets of history--space medics, Charles Joseph Messier, wormhole theory,
Edwin Hubble, Pathfinder--concludes with 60 experiments and projects.
The first of these galaxies was shown to exist when
Edwin Hubble resolved the stars of the Andromeda nebula in 1923, with the help of then newly built 100-inch telescope at Mt.
