Who Invented The Hubble Telescope
Who invented the Hubble telescope? While I don't really know my guess
is that the answer to who invented the Hubble telescope is that someone
named Hubble did. Let's find out.
And, in fact, I am correct. In researching who invented the Hubble
telescope I find it to be Edwin Hubble, in 1929. His invention of the Hubble
telescope proved Einstein's law of inertia that the galaxies had to have
been set in motion by something outside themselves. This law of inertia, by
the way, has never been disproved.
Edwin Hubble, the man who invented the Hubble, determined that since
these galaxies were moving in a manner that he compared to the explosion of
a bomb he would call his theory the Big Bang. With his invention of the
Hubble telescope, Edwin Hubble was able to lead scientists to the conclusion
that the universe was not infinite, but instead had to have had a point in
time at which it began. More facts about Edwin Hubble.
Edwin Hubble, lived until 1953, may have made one of the most, if not the
most, significant impacts on our view of our world beyond our planet. In
1923 and 1924, Hubble, before he invented the Hubble telescope, used the
largest telescope then in the world - the Mt. Wilson-based Hooker Telescope
to study the Andromeda Nebula. He measured the distance of this Nebula from
our world. Hubble studied the distances of other galaxies, and then compared
that to speed of the galaxies. From this he determined that the farther away
from earth a galaxy was the faster it moved. Now known as Hubble's Law, this
relationship served as proof that the world outside our own galaxy was
indeed expanding.
