Edwin Powell Hubble (1889–1953) revolutionized modern astronomy with his groundbreaking discoveries in the 1920s and 1930s. He proved that galaxies exist beyond the Milky Way and formulated Hubble’s Law, demonstrating that the universe is expanding—an idea that laid the foundation for the Big Bang theory. By 1948, Hubble was closely associated with the newly completed 200-inch Hale Telescope at Palomar Observatory in California, then the world’s largest telescope. His contributions reshaped our understanding of the cosmos and positioned him as one of the most important scientific figures of the 20th century.
