Edwin Hubble was an American astronomer born in 1889 who made several groundbreaking discoveries about the universe, including Hubble's Law which showed a relationship between galaxies' speeds and distances, demonstrating the universe's expansion. He also proved the existence of galaxies outside the Milky Way. Hubble received many honors for his work, including medals from scientific organizations, and several places and objects in space are named after him, including the Hubble Space Telescope launched in 1990 which takes high quality photographs from its orbit around Earth.
