Hubble discovered that the until then called nebulae were actually galaxies like the Milky Way.

Hubble also discovered that they move away from each other at a proportional speed to the distance separating them.

His name was given

to the first space

telescope, put in orbit

in 1990, to study the

space without the

distortions caused by

the atmosphere.
