1915-+Edwin+Hubble

(1.) Edwin Powell Hubble, an American Astronomer who was born in a small town of Marshfield, Missouri, USA, on November 29, 1889. When Edwin was younger science fascinated him and the mystery's of "new worlds". They say that Edwin played a crucial role on establishing the field of extragalactic astronomy, which is one of the most important cosmologist ( an astronomer who studies the evolution and space-time relations) of the 20th century. (2.) At the University of Chicago Edwin studied mathematics, astronomy, and philosophy. In 1919 Edwin finally joined the Mount Wilson Observatory, he demonstrated the spiral nebulae ( a cloud of gas and dust in outer space) are independent galaxies beyond our own galaxy. After World War II he supported the construction of the gigantic 200-inch telescope on Palomar Mountain.(3.) (3.) The 100-inch Hooker Telescope at Observatory that Hubble used to measure galaxies distances. While working at Mount Wilson Edwin proved that other galaxies existed outside of the Milky way, where Earth is located by taking photos through the observatory's Hooker Telescope. Also in 1939, Edwin published "//__The Realm of the Nebulae"__ which was a piece of his research. Edwin still continued his research until he died on September 28, 1953, he was 63 years old at the time. He died of Cerebral Thrombosis which was a spontaneous blood clot in his brain. Edwin remains one of the worlds most famous astronomers, As a tribute to his groundbreaking work NASA named its "Hubble Space Telescope" after Edwin Hubble.//
