    extended that far. Then in early 1900's people started to explore space and study matters beyond our planet. Edwin Hubble was the first person who introduced us to the cosmos such as the galaxy and the universe. Hubble altered our thinking of outer space and because of that a space telescope was launched in Earth's orbit in recognition of him and called the Hubble Space Telescope. Because of Hubble contribution…

    Edwin Hubble was not the only astronomer to observe the cosmological redshifts. In fact, the first person to see these shifts is Vesto Slipher, an American astronomer who first observed the phenomenon in 1912. Although this expansion initiated billions of years ago, observations made by Edwin Hubble show that the universe is still in constant development up to this day. The best evidence that supports…

    Cepheid Variable Stars are large and luminous yellow stars in space known to sporadically change size and temperature resulting in pulsing variations in brightness and thus, inconsistent levels of luminosity. There are two types of Cepheid Variable Stars; Type 1 Cepheids (or classical) which are high mass stars with smaller pulsating periods and Type 2 Cepheids which are lower mass stars with greater pulsation periods. All Cepheid Variable Stars, named after the first observed star of this type,…

    The results from the 3 Hubble diagrams vary in accuracy, this is measured by the R2 value which in other terms means the distribution of the data in relation to the fitted line of regression. The diagrams are also all measured by using apparent magnitude which is the measure of brightness as viewed from the earth and does not take into consideration distance which can mean results are not as accurate in comparison to absolute magnitude. Absolute magnitude is measured the magnitude of the star…
