What do the farthest galaxies in the universe appear to be doing according to Hubble's law?
Mating. If you even know what Hubble's Law is you know the answer to this question.
What is the name of the telescope that they use to see galaxies?
the hubble telescope edwin hubble :)
What is the type of star used by Hubble to measure the distance to other galaxies?
what is the type of star used by the Hubble to measure the distance to other galaxies.
Who showed that other galaxies existed?
Edwin Powell Hubble, the American astronomer, demonstrated the existence of other galaxies besides the Milky Way.
Edwin Hubble demonstrated that distant galaxies existed by measuring which type of stars?
what is the type of star used by the Hubble to measure the distance to other galaxies.
What was hubble named after?
The Hubble Space Telescope was named after Edwin Hubble, an American astronomer that discovered that galaxies outside of the Local Group are moving away from us at speeds proportional to their distances.

According to Hubbles law galaxies are retreating at a speed that is proportional to their?
I'm not convinced that your proposition is correct. I realize that cosmologists use a lot of simplification in their descriptions, for friendly reasons, but I always prefer to keep things fairly straight. It is my reading of Hubble that he postulated that remote galaxies were receding -- at the time they emitted the light which we are now receiving -- from us at a speed which was proportional to the distance from where they were then to where we are now. How one interprets the concept of distance, in view of the separately postulated "expansion of space" and time-dependence of the "scaling factor" is obviously now a compounding, related issue, which lay outside Hubble's purview. Hubble's law does not specify, based upon the observed redshift (whether non-Doppler or not) what is (i.e. is now) the distance between us and the galaxy. It is considered simplest to assume that the velocity of separation is and continues radially uniform, and therefore has increased during the time it took the light to reach us. If you need to know the current (our observing time) location of the remote galaxy and the velocity of its separation from us now, you will need to apply further calculations to the Hubble data.

Who showed there were other galaxies in the universe?
Hubble.
Who proved that there are galaxies besides the milky way?
Hubble, in his studies of Nebulas which turned out to be galaxies.
What observation did Edwin hubble make about the movement of galaxies?
In the late 1920s, the astronomer Edwin Hubble discovered that most of the galaxies he observed were moving away from Earth.
What is important about the Hubble telescope's discovery that there is a red shift in the spectra of galaxies?
The Hubble telescope did not discover that there is a red shift in the spectra of Galaxies. The telescope is named after the American astronomer, Edwin Hubble, who discovered the phenomenon in the 1920s.
