Edwin Hubble was also a high-school teacher.
Edwin Hubble's discoveries confirmed the belief held by some astronomers that the universe is expanding. His observations of distant galaxies revealed that they were moving away from Earth, with those farther away receding faster, which led to the formulation of Hubble's Law. This finding supported the idea that the universe was not static but dynamic, contradicting the prevailing notion at the time that the universe was unchanging. Hubble’s work laid the groundwork for the Big Bang theory, fundamentally altering our understanding of the cosmos.
Hubble experienced a heart attack in July 1949 while on vacation in Colorado. He was taken care of by his wife, Grace Hubble, and continued on a modified diet and work schedule. He died of cerebral thrombosis (a spontaneous blood clot in his brain) on September 28, 1953, in San Marino, California. No funeral was held for him, and his wife never revealed his burial site.

Edwin Moses the famous American hurdler who held the record for 9 years, 9 months and 9 days is still alive.
The VIVO scientist conference will be held on August 14-16, 2013. This year the location for the conference is the Hilton St. Louis at the Ballpark in St. Louis, Missouri.
We don't have any idea how many there are. Hundreds of billions, certainly, and probably far more. Each galaxy contains hundreds of billions of stars. Some of the most astonishing photos generated by the Hubble Space Telescope were the Hubble Deep Field observations. Scientists pointed the Hubble Space Telescope toward a tiny patch of the sky that seemed absolutely empty of stars. It turns out that in this star-less spot, smaller than a grain of sand held at arm's length, the Hubble saw thousands of galaxies. See the link below for a video of the discovery.
Before Edwin Moses broke the NCAA hurdles record, the record was held by the American athlete Greg Foster. Foster set the record in 1981 with a time of 13.22 seconds in the 110-meter hurdles. Moses later surpassed this mark with his own exceptional performances in the event during the 1970s and 1980s.

The 1976 Summer Games were held in Montreal, Canada. It was those games that introduced the world at large, to athletes such as Bruce Jenner, Edwin Moses, Alberto Juantorena, Sugar Ray Leonard and Leon Spinks.
It was held in France.
A telescope on Earth has two main limitations: the Earth is rotating, and the atmosphere disturbs light from stars. Once the Hubble is aimed at an object, it is held pointed at the object by on board gyroscopes. There is no obstruction, such as the atmosphere, between the object and the Hubble.
