B – Edwin Hubble was an American astronomer whose research led to discoveries about galaxies and the
Andromeda Nebula was located outside our galaxy, establishing the islands universe theory, which states that
galaxies exist outside of our own. His study of the distribution of galaxies resulted in Hubble’s Constant, a
standard relationship between a galaxy’s distance from the earth and its speed of recession.
By 1925, Hubble had devised a classification system for the structure of galaxies and provided conclusive
observational evidence for the expansion of the universe. His work pushed the one – hundred – inch Mount
Wilson telescope beyond its capability and provided strong impetus for the construction of an instrument
twice its size at Mount Palomar, which Hubble used during his last years of research. The telescope that bears
his name was launched on a space shuttle in 1990 and orbits the earth, collecting data about the size and age of
the universe.
