Hubble's " proposal about the universe" is surprising considering his red shift work is claimed to be the basis of the expanding universe. Hubble's work on counting galaxies indicated a closed universe, not expanding. His view of the red shift is that it is a "hither to unrecognized principle of nature".
see this excerpt below about Hubble.
"Hubble concluded that his observed log N(m) distribution showed a large departure from Euclidean geometry, provided that the effect of redshifts on the apparent magnitudes was calculated as if the redshifts were due to a real expansion. A different correction is required if no motion exists, the redshifts then being due to an unknown cause. Hubble believed that his count data gave a more reasonable result concerning spatial curvature if the redshift correction was made assuming no recession. To the very end of his writings he maintained this position, favouring (or at the very least keeping open) the model where no true expansionexists, and therefore that the redshift "represents a hitherto unrecognized principle of nature". This viewpoint is emphasized (a) in The Realm of the Nebulae, (b)in his reply (Hubble 1937a) to the criticisms of the 1936 papers by Eddington and by McVittie, and (c) in his 1937 Rhodes Lectures published as The Observational Approach to Cosmology (Hubble 1937b). It also persists in his last published scientific paper which is an account of his Darwin Lecture (Hubble 1953)."

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.
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 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.
Why was Edwin Hubbles theory important?
Hubble was an astrophysicist in the early 20th century. He helped discover the rate at which the universe is expanding, which is now given by the Hubble constant. (H0=69km s^-1 Mpc^-1)
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.

Who showed there were other galaxies in the universe?
Hubble.
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 showed that other galaxies existed and observed that the universe i s expanding?
Edwin Hubble, after whom the space telescope was named.
Who astronomer discovered that the universe is expanding?
Edwin Hubble
What did Edwin Hubble discover in 1927?
universe is expanding
What has the author Valerie Neal written?
Valerie Neal has written: 'Exploring the universe with the Hubble Space Telescope' -- subject(s): Exploration, Hubble Space Telescope (Spacecraft), Orbiting astronomical observatories, Telescopes
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.
