Edwin Hubble, US astronomer C008 / 8831
Edwin Hubble. Caricature of the US astronomer, cosmologist, athlete and boxer Edwin Powell Hubble (1889-1953) smoking a pipe. In 1923 Hubble profoundly changed our understanding of the universe by confirming the existence of galaxies other than our own when he observed Cepheid variable stars in the Andromeda nebula, proving it was a galaxy. He later introduced the classification of galaxies (spirals, barred spirals, ellipticals). In 1929, he announced Hubbles Law, which showed that galaxies move apart faster the further away they are, key evidence for the expansion of the universe

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Edwin Powell Hubble, an extraordinary figure in the realm of astronomy and cosmology. Depicted in a comical caricature style, Hubble is portrayed as a multi-talented individual with his pipe-smoking pose adding to his enigmatic charm. In 1923, Hubble revolutionized our understanding of the universe by confirming the existence of galaxies beyond our own Milky Way. His groundbreaking observation of Cepheid variable stars within the Andromeda nebula provided concrete evidence that it was indeed a separate galaxy. Moreover, he introduced a classification system for galaxies based on their shapes - spirals, barred spirals, and ellipticals - further expanding our knowledge about these celestial bodies. Hubble's most significant contribution came in 1929 when he announced Hubble's Law. This revolutionary concept demonstrated that galaxies move away from each other at increasing speeds as their distance grows greater. This pivotal discovery became key evidence supporting the expansion of the universe. Through this artwork, we are reminded not only of Hubble's scientific achievements but also his athletic prowess as a boxer and athlete. It serves as a testament to his multifaceted personality and indelible impact on astrophysics and cosmology. Gary Brown's monochrome illustration skillfully combines history with humor while paying homage to one of science's greatest minds.
