Edwin Powell Hubble
Edwin P. Hubble was born on November 20 1889 in Marshfield, Missouri. His parents were Virginia Lee James and John Powell Hubble who was an insurance executive. He had two sisters and two brothers. In 1900 his family moved to Wheaton, Illinois. As a kid, Edwin was a gifted athlete playing basketball, football, baseball, and was on the track and field team in which he won several awards. In 1906, he set the state high school record for the event High Jump in Illinois. Two of his favourite hobbies were fly fishing and boxing. 1907, he attended the University of Chicago where he studied math and astronomy and became a member of the Kappa Sigma fraternity. The same year, he led the University of Chicago’s basketball team to

in 1910 he received his Bachelor of Science degree. After getting his Bachelors of Science, he spent 3 year at The queens College in Oxford where he studied law, fulfilling his promise to his dying father. During his time at The Queens College, he also studied literature and spanish, which helped him earn his Masters degree. In the winter of 1913, Edwin’s father passed away, the following summer he returned to take care of his mourning family. After a few months had passed, he got a job as a teacher at the New Albany high school in indiana, where he would teach spanish, physics and math for a year. After teaching for one year, at the age of 25, he decided that he wanted to start over and pursue astronomy again. He enrolled in graduate school to study astronomy at the Yerkes Observatory where he eventually received his PhD in 1917. Later that year when the U.S declared war on Germany, Hubble volunteered for the US army and got assigned to the newly created 86th Division. and despite never seeing combat, he was able to achieve the rank of major. He also fought in WWII and received a Legion of Merit award. In 1919, he was offered a position at Mount Wilson Observatory in California, which he took and remained to work there
Then later in life he built an institute. In his early life he did many things and had a lot of great accomplishments. He was the eldest son of Orthodox Jewish-Polish immigrants and was born in East Harlem, New York, on October 28, 1914. Then after a while he graduated with a bachelor’s degree in science in 1933, at the age of nineteen, and went on to New York University’s School of Medicine.
He was born October 27, 1858 in New York City. As a child he suffered from asthma which made it impossible for him to do ordinary daily things. When he got older his father made him a gym and had him workout and as he grew his asthma went away. He graduated from Harvard and married the love of his life, her name was Alice. When they had their first
He received a early education from a Ohio Military Institute. He received his college degree with honors at Miami University Ohio at the age of 19. In his adult life he was lawyer. In 1860 He was elected Supreme Court reporter. In 1862 He had three children. His son was Russell Benjamin Harrison. His daughters were Elizabeth Harrison Walker and Mary Harrison Mckee. His was first wife was Mary Dimmick Harrison. His second wife is Caroline Harrison.
The universe is compose of billions of stars, Milky Way, and Galaxies. The study of these three area of the universe has been done by many scientist. However, a person named Edwin Powell Hubble discovered something beyond Milky Way and Galaxies, which is called the Nebulae. According to Hubble, he stated that “Until recently those outer regions in the realm of speculation … they appear as small faint clouds mingled among the stars and many of them have long been known by the name “nebulae.” Their identification as great stellar systems, the true inhabitants of the universe.” (Hubble). Hubble’s discovery of the nebulae and stellar systems has helped him discover something new. While studying the nebulae and stellar
“I knew that even if i were second or third rate, it was astronomy that mattered.” Edwin Hubble (1889-1953)(Edwin) Edwin Hubble was born in Missouri in 1889. Due to the occupation held by his parent, an insurance executive, at just 9 years old he moved to Chicago.
Neil armstrong went to Purdue university, and university of Cincinnati. He got his piloting license and went to serve for the navy. He was also in the Korean war. After the Korean war he went to work for nasa. that
Johannes Kepler was born in Weil der Stadt Germany on December 27th 1571. His father (Heinrich Kepler) was a mercenary and his mother (Katharina Guldenmann) was the daughter of an inn keeper. As a child Kepler was apparently very weak and was sick constantly. When he was young he showed that he had a very high interest in astronomy and maths. When people came to stay in his grandfathers inn he showed them his high skill in maths which left a lasting impression. In 1577 when he was age six he witnessed the ‘Great Comet of 1577’, this furthered his interest in astronomy. Then when he was nine he saw a lunar eclipse in 1580. But because of how weak and sick he was his vision of both of these events could have been better.
Edwin “Buzz” Aldrin was born on January 20, 1930 in New Jersey. He and Armstrong were both young men when they joined NASA. Both young men went to college and finished all of the necessary courses needed to enroll into the facility. “Buzz” had one of the most successful space walks in the world. He was in space for 5 hours before being returned to the planet. Buzz like Armstrong like to do
NASA has recently used the Hubble Space Telescope to investigate a new discovery. This discovery was made on one of Jupiter’s moons, Europa. Europa is believed to have water vapor plumes erupting off its surface. Europa is thought to be one of the few places that can inhabit Earth Like things. This event is exciting for scientists because it will make exploration of Europa’s ocean easier, because the water jets are on the surface. Europa is a hot topic for scientists, so when the discovery of possible exploration was found, scientists are extremely excited. According to NASA, the jets are able to get to about 125 miles high, thats a lot of water. Europa’s ocean holds more water than all of Earth’s oceans combined. This is what makes Europa
“The Hubble, has given us nothing less than an ontological awakening, a forceful reckoning with what is the telescope compels the mind to contemplate space and time on a scale just shy of the infinite.” implied Ross Anderson, an engineer. With this one telescope, created by a normal astronomer, scientists and astronomers are able to see space as never seen before. They are able to make mind boggling observations that contemplate space to an infinite scale. Thousands of discoveries about space have been observed through this lense and without the magnitude of high level instruments compiled into this large instrument most of these observations would never have been discovered. As proposed by Floyd E. Bloom a researcher, on izquotes.com, “As
James studied naval science in college and earned his bachelor's degree at the Navel Academy. He also earned a master's in astronomical engineering at the University Of Michigan. Additionally, he was awarded an honorary doctorate from William Jewell Collage and another honorary doctorate from Samford University.
The science of astronomy has come a long way. For instance, Galileo discovered the first four moons of Jupiter. Nicolaus Copernicus proved that the Earth wasn’t the center of the solar system. But one man will change all that is known about space. Edwin P. Hubble had discovered a amazing discovery that rocked the whole astronomy community, there were other planets, stars, and galaxies outside of our own. Hubble’s discovery changed everything man has ever known about the stars.
The Hubble’s constant is a measure of the current expansion rate of the universe (1). Researchers have deduced that the expansion rate of the universe is found by the current density and composition it holds (1). Hubble’s constant is represented by H0; the equation use is 1/H0 (1). According to Hubble’s constant, it is around 72 km/sec/Mega parsec (1). Thus, approximately equals to about 13.77 billion years; give or take about 50 million years (1). However, researchers discovered that the universe is currently expanding slower than previous years; affecting the rate of the universe (1).
Then he later went on to college at Purdue university. He earned a masters degree there. Before he even became an astronaut he had studied airplanes with a group of people.
He attended two different colleges as well. First, he went to Trinity College in Cambridge but wasn’t pleased with the math program there. So, he then attended Peterhouse, in Cambridge. He was the best mathematician at Peterhouse. He graduated from Peterhouse but didn’t receive an honorary degree. He wasn’t successful when he first graduated. He did some lectures on astronomy every now and then; And eventually helped to establish the Astronomical Society. A little later he received his honorary degree without question.
