What year did Edward Hubble hypothesize that planets and stars are still moving far away from each other?

First, this is not about planets and stars, but about entire galaxies and galaxy clusters.Also, the term "still" is not appropriate. The discoveries by Hubble and others showed that galaxies move away from one another in the first place.
Also, he did not "hypothesize" this; what Hubble did is to collect observational evidence, and make some statistics.

Second, Hubble did not really hypothesise that stars are moving away from each other. This was predicted by Georges Lemaître in an article published in 1927.
Hubble analysed data for a large number of stars and suggested an estimated value for the rate of expansion two years later.

Who showed that other galaxies existed?
Edwin Powell Hubble, the American astronomer, demonstrated the existence of other galaxies besides the Milky Way.
What did edwin hubble invented?
He invented a system for classifying galaxy morphologies (shapes). The Hubble Space Telescope is named after him, but he did not invent it.
When moving from the outer planets to the inner planets what can be said about their periods of revolution?
FCAT Focus answer: C) They decrease
Why would the planets not be useful as a navigation aid?
Planets are not used as a navigation aid because they are not in a moving position at particular times of the year.
Edwin Hubble demonstrated that distant galaxies existed by measuring which type of stars?
what is the type of star used by the Hubble to measure the distance to other galaxies.
What happens when the planets stop moving?
Planets can not stop moving, your question is pointless.
Did hubble note that all stars are moving towards us?
no
Who showed that other galaxies existed?
Edwin Powell Hubble, the American astronomer, demonstrated the existence of other galaxies besides the Milky Way.
According to Hubble's law the farther away a galaxy is?
According to Hubble's Law, the farther away a galaxy is the, faster it is moving away
What was hubble named after?
The Hubble Space Telescope was named after Edwin Hubble, an American astronomer that discovered that galaxies outside of the Local Group are moving away from us at speeds proportional to their distances.

When planets are closer to the sun how are they moving?
They are moving in an elliptical orbit
What observation did Edwin hubble make about the movement of galaxies?
In the late 1920s, the astronomer Edwin Hubble discovered that most of the galaxies he observed were moving away from Earth.
What important observation did Edwin Hubble make about the movement of galaxies?
In the late 1920s, the astronomer Edwin Hubble discovered that most of the galaxies he observed were moving away from Earth.
Are you moving around the sun or it is the sun that moves around the planets?
The planets are considered moving around the sun, even though the sun moves too (in tiny circles opposite the planets' motions). The planets are circling the sun. The sun (dragging the planets along with it) is circling our galaxy's center. Our galaxy (dragging the sun, the planets, and all the other stars) is moving through the universe as well.
What are moving stars?
Planets; from 'Planetes,' or 'Wanderers.'
How does the Ptolemaic model differ from the modern day model?
The Ptolemaic model has all of the planets moons and stars moving around the Sun. The modern day Copernican model has all the planets moving around the Sun, with the moons moving around the planets, and the Sun and its "system" moving around the Milky Way.
