Henrietta Swan Leavitt is one of the greatest women to work in astronomy. Because of the distinction between men and women in the 1900's - she was not even allowed to work a telescope.
She was classified as nothing more than a human computer, but her work pivoted the discovery of the period luminosity relation of Cepheid variables.
This provided an important yardstick for measuring distances in the Universe, which was lacking at the time.
Even though she made one of the greatest breakthroughs in astronomy, she was not credited with it, Edwin Hubble took it!!

Was the inveter that inveted the hubble telescope named Edwin Powell or Edwin hubble?
Neither. The HST (Hubble space telescope) was named after Edwin Hubble because of his work in astronomy but he did not invert, nor know about the HST as he died in 1953
What was Henrietta Swan Leavitt's favorite book?
There is no known information about Henrietta Swan Leavitt's favorite book. She was a pioneering astronomer known for her work on variable stars and her discovery of the period-luminosity relation in Cepheid variables, which helped establish the scale of the universe.
Who was the Hubble named after and why?
It was named after Edwin P. Hubble (1889 - 1953) for his pioneering work in astrophysics. The Hubble constant is the basis for the determination of the size of the universe and an essential piece of the foundations of the Big Bang theory.

Considering his work and time of his education he would most certainly be Sun centred.

Hubble worked at Mount Wilson Observatory until 1942, when he left to work at the Aberdeen Proving Grounds in Maryland during World War II
What was Edwin Hubble trying to prove?
The real, world-class scientists don't work to prove things.They simply try to discover and describe what is.
