Edwin Hubble Discovers the Universe
Edwin Hubble, shown here with the 48-inch telescope on Palomar Mountain, was instrumental in defining our understanding of the universe. He proved the existence of other galaxies and showed that they are moving apart from one another. His work laid the foundation for modern cosmology. The Hubble Space Telescope was named in his honor.
