Hubble. Edwin Powell (1889-1953) US astronomer, who worked at both the Yerkes Observatory and the Mount Wilson Observatory. Most of his studies involved nebulae and galaxies, which he classified in 1926. In 1929 he established the Hubble constant, which enabled him to estimate the age of the universe. The Hubble space telescope is named after him.

Edwin Powell Hubble (1889-1953), American astronomer and explorer of galaxies, found in 1929 that the distance between galaxies is proportional to the infrared shift in their spectrum caused by the Doppler effect, which is consequently interpreted as expansion of the Universe. A surprise from recent astronomical studies is that the expansion is faster and faster (for unknown reasons).
