Edwin Hubble

Just a guy who likes to get lost in the stars.

What do you call the quick conference before a play in football? A Hubble.

[Edwin Hubble @edwinhubbletel1]

Before I was an astrophysicist, I taught Spanish, English, and coached the basketball team.

Gunnar is an awesome guy who has an immaculate taste in music. Also hes the only red headed guy I have met in my entire life.

@Aryabhata3 It's easy to be a genius when you live in a time period of idiots.

[Edwin Hubble @edwinhubbletel1]

@Aryabhata3 Where there really only three sciences back then?

[Edwin Hubble @edwinhubbletel1]

@Aryabhata3 But did you discover that there are galaxies outside of our own?

[Edwin Hubble @edwinhubbletel1]

@Aryabhata3 The biggest telescope in the world is named after me.

[Edwin Hubble @edwinhubbletel1]

@Aryabhata3 Lets keep religion and science separated please.

And on top of that, World War 1 came around. I was enlisted and decided to train as an officer of the 86th infantry division. Unfortunately, I never saw combat as the war ended before I was shipped over. Back to law school I guess.

[Edwin Hubble @edwinhubbletel1]

Not only that, but my dad wouldn't allow me to take any advanced science classes in college. So I studied law for a few years. Not being able to do my dream job for nearly a decade.

[Edwin Hubble @edwinhubbletel1]

My father never believed in my ability to become a scientist. Even though my obvious interest in astronomy since a little boy. He made me become an athlete (To be fair I was pretty good), all of those hours I spent on the field could have been used researching the stars.

[Edwin Hubble @edwinhubbletel1]

Also I was the first person to discover that the universe is actually expanding according to Hubble's Law (My own law). Objects observed in deep space - extragalactic space, 10 megaparsecs or more - are found to have a red shift, interpreted as a relative velocity away from Earth

[Edwin Hubble @edwinhubbletel1]

After I discovered nebulae, I pioneered the study of Extragalactic astronomy. It is branch of astronomy concerned with objects outside the Milky Way galaxy. In other words, it is the study of all astronomical objects which are not covered by galactic astronomy.

[Edwin Hubble @edwinhubbletel1]

I was the first to observe that clusters of gas in outer space were in fact nebulae, and were actually galaxies beyond the Milky Way.

[Edwin Hubble @edwinhubbletel1]

The war's over so I'm heading back state side to lead research in the field of astrophysics at Mount Wilson Observatory in California.

[Edwin Hubble @edwinhubbletel1]

I studied at three university's. The Queens College, The University of Oxford, AND the University of Chicago.

[Edwin Hubble @edwinhubbletel1]

Yo what's just born over here in Marshville, Missouri. Circa November 20, 1889.

“Science is the one human activity that is truly progressive. The body of positive knowledge is transmitted from generation to generation.”

Did you know Switzerland eats the most chocolate equating to 10 kilos per person per year

Did you know goldfish can see both infrared and ultraviolet light
