What discovery made Edwin hubble believe there there is more universe than the milky way?

Hubble did not discover that there were other galaxies; that had been discovered earlier. But Hubble was the first to demonstrate that the more distant another galaxy is, the faster it is moving away from us.
Edit: I'm not sure that's right. Hubble was surely the first to prove that a
"spiral nebula" was too far away to be in the Milky Way. That nebula
is what we now call the "Andromeda galaxy".
I know that Slipher and others did important earlier work on red shifts,
but I'm pretty sure Hubble did discover that other galaxies existed.

∙ 12y agoThere is some confusion here - the Milky Way is a galaxy, not "a Universe". The Universe is everything we know. While there is some speculation about other Universes (pressumably unreachable for use), it is hard to determine whether there actually are other universes, or not.

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 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.
The discovery that the universe appears to be expanding led to a widely accepted theory called?
Edwin Hubble was one of the scientists who realized that the red-shifted light from far-away galaxies indicated that the universe is expanding.
Who showed that other galaxies existed and observed that the universe was expanding?
Edwin hubble >:d
Who was the astronomer that discovered the universe was expanding?
Edwin HubbleAnswer2:Hubble did not believe the universe is expanding. The universe is not expanding like the big bang, it is excited like an atom. The electrons jump to a higher level and lower their speed. The lower speed is a lower energy state, the max energy is when v=c.Hubble;s relationship v=HD indicates the distance D from the max energy state, where v = c.Hubble's Constant is dR/Rdt =c/R =H = 300M/150TT = 2E-18 m/s x31E21 = 62km/s/Megaparsec.
What was Edwin hubble's most famous discovery?
The universe is expanding!
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.
Is this universe closed?
As proven by Edwin Hubble, the universe is expanding.
Why was the space telescope named Hubble?
It was named after the famous scientist Edwin P. Hubble (1889-1953) because he was the one who made the discovery that our universe was expanding. The space telescope designed to replace Hubble around 2018 is named for the late NASA administrator James Webb (1906-1992).
How did Edwin Hubble think of making the Hubble space telescope?
Edwin Hubble did not think of making the Hubble Space Telescope. The Hubble space telescope is simply named after him because of his contributions to astronomy. His greatest discovery came in 1929 when he determined that the Universe was expanding, which later became the bases for the Big Bang theory.
American astronomer Edwin Hubble later interpreted this discovery as evidence that?
Galaxies are moving away from each other in a constantly expanding universe.
Who astronomer discovered that the universe is expanding?
Edwin Hubble
What did Edwin Hubble discover in 1927?
universe is expanding
What did Edwin Hubbles discovery of red shift demonstrate?
Edwin Hubble didn't discover redshift. What he did was make a systematic statistic of redshifts and blueshifts, of known galaxies. What this demonstrated was that the Universe is expanding.
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.
What scientist first established that the universe is expanding?
Edwin Hubble
What measurement was Edwin Hubble famous for?
Edwin Hubble was famous for measuring the red shift of distant galaxies and interpreting that as evidence of the expansion of the Universe.
