Edwin Hubble

Did you ever think on how the universe ever started ? It all started in total darkness. An astronomer named Edwin Hubble found out that the galaxies were moving farther away, he knew that by a telescope that he created and it is called the hubble telescope. When the universe exploded it began to spread really quickly and when it exploded the universe had a very high temperature when this happened. Which created formation of elements ,gravity,redshift ,doppler effect,CMB, many more . The big…

Before Edwin Hubble discovered that galaxies were receding from each other, people strongly believed that the universe was static and there was no component in it which exerted a negative pressure and countered the attractive force of gravity. This belief was so strong, in fact, that even Einstein, upon finding that his equations were predicting an expanding universe, arbitrarily added a cosmological constant to keep the universe static. A few years after GR was published, however, Hubble found…

discovering and understanding the universe. Such technologies include Hubble Space Telescope, COBE and the Planck satellite. Astronomers and Scientists currently estimate that the Big Bang occurred just under 14 billion years ago.Without the invention of telescopes our understanding of the universe and space would be based on beliefs and myths from different cultures rather than factual evidence. Hubble Space Telescope The Hubble Space Telescope is a significant piece of technology that has…

as Earth, that’s nothing compared to the universe that can be explored with a Hubble telescope and the radio telescope. Space craft and technology provides the world with astronomical information, discovering information that is beyond our capabilities on Earth capabilities to discover with our eyes alone. Two major telescopes that have been in orbit around the Earth’s Atmosphere discovering new information are the Hubble telescope (Optical) and the radio telescope (Non-optical). Optical…

and Alexander Friedmann in 1922 discovered a variety of answers to Einstein's General Relativity that described instead of a static but a constantly expanding universe. In 1929, Edwin Hubble discovered that all matter in the universe is moving away from all other matter. This proved that the universe is expanding. Hubble came to this conclusion by observing the light coming…

Many think of it as, will the universe ever end? It was during the 1920’s that a man named Edwin Hubble provided the first piece of evidence that explained that the universe that we live in was expanding. (The Expanding Universe: From Slowdown to Speed Up, Scientific American). This theory is known as the “Big Bang.” (How Do Scientists Know the Universe is Expanding?, Live Science). Hubble discovered that there was a relationship between the red shift, also known as the cosmological shift…

Henrietta Swan Leavitt was a female astronomer who lead the way for the ability to measure the distance between two planets, along with many other. Leavitt was born to a minister in Lancaster, Massachusetts in 1868. She attended a a higher education at Society for the Collegiate Instruction for Women, now named Radcliffe College. She graduated the college with a Bachelor's degree, but it was not in astronomy, which she would later dedicate her life to. She did take an astronomy class in her…

The Hubble telescope is a telescope named after famous astronomer Edwin Hubble. It orbits in space 380 miles above Earth’s surface, traveling 5 miles per second, finishing an orbit around Earth in 97 minutes. Hubble takes sharp images of space without looking at Earth’s atmosphere, which blurs pictures due to the atmosphere being constantly in motion. The telescope is 2.4 meters in length and has mirrors 94 inches in diameter. Some celestial objects that Hubble takes images of are stars and…

Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The shuttle Discovery is launched and brings the Hubble Telescope into space. On April 25, 1990, the Hubble is deployed into orbit by the space shuttle crew. The Hubble gets its name from the astronomer Edwin Hubble. The telescope has a 2.4 meter mirror which helps it see far out into space. The Hubble took its first image on May 20, 1990. After analyzing the Hubble’s first images that the Hubble took on June 25 astronomers discover that the images were blurry…

you ever wondered what a galaxy really is? In the early 1900s, astronomers . Astronomers argued about spiral shaped, gas, dust were getting closer to discovering galaxiessome star vast cloud found in the night sky. In 1919, Edwin Hubble, an astronomer found the answers. Hubble used his 100-inch mirror and stood on top of Mount Wilson in California. He used the telescope's light gathering power to take images of the great nebula in Andromeda. We are here to discover more about galaxies, what…
