Edwin Powell Hubble (1899-1953), American astronomer, in the obsevatory
Edwin Powell Hubble (1899-1953), American astronomer, in the obsevatory. Using the powerful hooker 100 inch reflector at Mount Wilson Observatory, Powell was the first to establish that there were other galaxies beyond our own. He also discovered the red shift of the light from these distant galaxies, proving that the Universe is expanding, which he expressed mathematically as the Hubble Constant.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the brilliant mind of Edwin Powell Hubble, an American astronomer who forever changed our understanding of the universe. In this image, we find Hubble immersed in his work at the observatory, utilizing the powerful Hooker 100 inch reflector at Mount Wilson Observatory. Hubble's groundbreaking discoveries revolutionized our perception of space. He was the first to establish that there were galaxies beyond our own Milky Way, shattering previous beliefs about the size and scope of the cosmos. Moreover, he made a profound revelation by discovering the red shift phenomenon in light emitted from these distant galaxies. This discovery provided concrete evidence for an expanding universe and led to his formulation of what is now known as the Hubble Constant. As we gaze upon this portrait, we witness a man deeply engrossed in unraveling celestial mysteries. His pipe gently billows smoke into the air as he contemplates further revelations hidden within distant star systems. Hubble's dedication to his craft is evident through his intense focus and unwavering determination. Edwin Powell Hubble's contributions have left an indelible mark on astronomy and science as a whole. Through this remarkable photograph, we are transported back to a pivotal moment in history when one man's curiosity propelled humanity towards new frontiers of knowledge about our vast universe.
