Redshift and Hubble's Law - NASA
In 1929, Edwin Hubble announced that almost all galaxies appeared to be moving away from us. In fact, he found that the universe was expanding - with all of the galaxies moving away from each other. This phenomenon was observed as a redshift of a galaxy's spectrum. This redshift appeared to be larger for faint, presumably further, galaxies.

StarChild: The Hubble Space Telescope - NASA
The Hubble Space Telescope was named after Edwin Hubble, an astronomer whose contributions to astronomy include a classification system for galaxies and the Hubble Constant. The Hubble Constant defines the relationship between a galaxy's distance from the Earth and the speed with which the galaxy is moving away from the Earth.

The Hubble Space Telescope was named after the astronomer Edwin Hubble, who, as a boy, had a paper route. The Hubble Space Telescope was launched on the Space Shuttle on April 24, 1990. It is a very special telescope which orbits far above the Earth.

El Hubble usa paneles solares, para obtener energía. Científicos en Greenbelt, Maryland, controlan sus señales de radio. El Telescopio Espacial Hubble fue construido para durar por lo menos 15 años y aún se encuentra en funcionamiento. Los astronautas del Transbordador Espacial hacen visitas al Hubble para hacer "chequeos".

El Telescopio Espacial Hubble fue llamado así en honor a Edwin Hubble, un astrónomo cuyas contribuciones a la astronomía incluyen un sistema de clasificación de las galaxias y la Constante de Hubble. La Constante de Hubble define la relación entre la distancia a una galaxia medida desde la Tierra y la velocidad a la cual la misma se está ...

StarChild: Cosmology - NASA
For centuries, astronomers believed that the Milky Way made up the entire universe. Hubble was among the first to show that the fuzzy patches in the sky seen through telescopes were other galaxies, not distant parts of the Milky Way. By looking at the spectra of these galaxies, he concluded they were speeding away from us - that the universe ...

About 100 years ago, astronomer Edwin Hubble made observations that showed the universe was getting bigger and bigger! This led most cosmologists to believe in a theory called the Big Bang. This led most cosmologists to believe in a theory called the Big Bang.
