He didn't make it any larger than it already was, he only theorised that it was larger than previously thought.
It was a more powerful telescope than any made so far & was in space so clouds wouldn't obscure the images. It could see further into the distance than ever before. Light takes such a long time to travel from one end of the universe to the other that you can literally see into the past. People used to think the Milky Way galaxy was the whole universe until they could galaxies further out & until they found out the universe has been continuously expanding ever since the creation of the universe.

The Hubble Space Telescope made the universe appear larger by providing us with high-resolution images of distant galaxies and other celestial objects. By capturing sharp and detailed images, Hubble revealed the immense distances and vastness of the cosmos, allowing us to see objects that were previously too faint or blurred to be observed. Its observations helped us understand the true scale and size of the universe.

Who stated that the universe is still expanding?
Hubble did not conclude that the Universe is expanding. Hubble thought the red shift indicated a unrecognized principle of nature. Hubble's constant actually shows the universe is bounded at R=150kMpc/31 and H= c/R = 62km/s/Mpc. The increase red shift velocity indicates a decreasing universe.
What telescope was named after an American astronaut?
The Hubble Space Telescope was named after Edwin Hubble. He was not an astronaut. Edwin Hubble was an astronomer, not an astronaut, who discovered the expansion of the universe.
Was Edwin Hubble an astronaut?
No. But his name was used as a satelite! He was an astronomer thus the hubble telescope. I believe it was he who discovered the expanding universe.
What did Edwin hubble prove about the size of universe?
By making observation
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.
If the hubble constant H is larger at great distances then what is happening?
The Universe is expanding at an accelerating rate.
Is this universe closed?
As proven by Edwin Hubble, the universe is expanding.
Who showed there were other galaxies in the universe?
Hubble.
How did Edwin Hubble's discovery that the Andromeda galaxy was far away of our own galaxy contribute to astronomers' knowledge about the size of the universe?
Prior to Hubble's discovery scientists generally believed that our galaxy was the entire universe. Hubble found that the Andromeda galaxy was, then called the Andromeda Nebula, was not a part of our galaxy but a galaxy unto itself far beyond the edge of the Milky Way. This discovered demonstrated that the universe is much larger than scientists have believed.
What are the release dates for Hubble's Amazing Universe - 2008 TV?
Hubble's Amazing Universe - 2008 TV was released on: USA: 5 October 2008

Who astronomer discovered that the universe is expanding?
Edwin Hubble
What did Edwin Hubble discover in 1927?
universe is expanding
Why is Edwin hubble famous?
Edwin Hubble proved that there are other galaxies spread throughout the universe, and that these galaxies move away from each other as the universe expands. He further found that the galaxies in the outermost areas of the universe move faster that those nearer the middle, a feature in his Hubble's Law.
What is the most distant galaxy the Hubble can detect?
The furthest Hubble as ever gazed into the universe is the Hubble Ultra Deep Field. Search that in google and check it out.
Will the Hubble Space Telescope map out 100 billion galaxies in the universe?
No, because it will be impossible for the Hubble Space Telescope to map out all 100 billion galaxies in the observable universe.
What is the age of the universe according to hubble telescope?
The universe is roughly 14 billion years old.
