Extractions: (1889-1953) US astronomer. Known for his work on extragalactic nebulae. A Rhode scholar who practised law for a year before gaining a doctorate in astronomy. In 1923 he proved that Andromeda lay outside our galaxy, and hence other galaxies existed outside our own. The Hubble Constant represents the hypothetical period of time since all the matter in the universe was in one 'super-dense' agglomeration - if expansion was constant. Estimated at between 5 and 10 billion years. The optical Hubble Space Telescope is named after him. [PRS. DOS] HUD (1905-76) US businessman, aviator, movie producer, billionaire. In later years he kept a low profile in his personal and business life. He inherited the Hughes Tool Company from his father. By his 20s he was getting $2 million a year and began film production in Hollywood including 'Hells Angels' (1930), 'Front Page' (1931) and 'Scarface' (1932). He also founded Hughes Aircraft Company that produced experimental aircraft. In 1935 he set the world air speed record at 566km/h in an aircraft of his own design. Later he owned much of the hotel and nightclub industry in Las Vegas and also invested in airlines and film studios but lived in seclusion. After his death no legal will could be found.

No Nobel Prize for an astronomer "I knew that even if I were second or third rate, it was astronomy that mattered." Edwin Powell Hubble (1889-1953). (Courtesy of the Archives, California Institure of Technology.) This sentence, written by Edwin Hubble recalling his youth, tells us a lot about this stubborn, ambitious, sometimes even snobbish and arrogant young man. A man who eventually broke the promise made to his father and followed the path dictated by his passion. As a result of Hubble's work, our perception of mankind's place in the Universe has changed forever: humans have once again been set aside from the centre of the Universe. When scientists decided to name the Space Telescope after the founder of modern cosmology the choice could not have been more appropriate. A promising student

Extractions: Edwin Hubble biography in Lithuanian Who was Hubble? We know about the satellite's telescope of Hubble and we've the constant of Hubble. Who was that man who gave his name to these things? Edwin Hubble was a man who changed our view of the Universe. In 1929 he showed that galaxies are moving away from us with a speed proportional to their distance. The explanation is simple, but revolutionary: the Universe is expanding. Hubble was born in Missouri in Nov. 20 1889 (died at Sept.28, 1953). His family moved to Chicago in 1898, where at High School he was a promising, though not exceptional, pupil. He was more remarkable for his athletic ability, breaking the Illinois State high jump record. At university too he was an accomplished sportsman playing for the University of Chicago basketball team. He won a Rhodes scholarship to Oxford where he studied law. It was only some time after he returned to the US that he decided his future lay in astronomy (he completed his PhD at Chicago's Yerkes Observatory in 1917). In the early 1920's Hubble played a key role in establishing just what galaxies are. It was known that some spiral nebulae (fuzzy clouds of light on the night sky) contained individual stars, but there was no consensus as to whether these were relatively small collections of stars within our own galaxy, the 'Milky Way' that stretches right across the sky, or whether these could be separate galaxies, or 'island universes', as big as our own galaxy but much further away. Using the theoretical groundwork of Henrietta Swan-Leavitt and Harlow Shapley, in 1924 Hubble measured the distance to the Andromeda nebula, a faint patch of light with about the same apparent diameter as the moon, and showed it was about a hundred thousand times as far away as the nearest stars. It had to be a separate galaxy, comparable in size our own Milky Way but much further away. He composed (1925) the classification scheme for the structure of galaxies that is still in use today

Extractions: Le métier d'avocat, dit-on, mène à tout mais le cas d'Edwin Hubble est tout de même plutôt singulier puisqu'il fait partie de cette très restreinte communauté d'avocats devenus astronomes! Après avoir pratiqué le droit, il s'est voué à l'astronomie et c'est ainsi qu'à l'observatoire du Mont Wilson aux États-Unis, après avoir établi la preuve que l'univers est composé d'un grand nombre de galaxies, il a confirmé l'hypothèse de l'expansion de l'univers en constatant que les galaxies s'éloignent les unes des autres. Un article publié en 1986 dans la revue Nature analyse la stratégie utilisée par Hubble pour faire valoir le bien-fondé de ses découvertes auprès des scientifiques de son temps. L'auteur, Norriss Hetherington soutient que Hubble a tiré partie de son expérience d'avocat pour plaider sa cause auprès de ses pairs. Et si Copernic avait été avocat!...
