Did the Hubble discovery come before cosmic background radiation?
Yes
What are some of the Hubble telescope discoveries?
The Hubble has discovered the fact that the universe is actually expanding faster than before, and this is caused by Dark Energy, another of the Hubble's discoveries
Did Edwin Hubble have anything to do with the Hubble Space Telescope?
No, Edwin Hubble had nothing directly to do with the Hubble Telescope, it was named for him because he profoundly changed the understanding of the nature of the universe. Hubble died before the the physical exploration of space began. Hubble also created his own Hubble telescope back in 1929 but it is not the orbiting Hubble telescope. Go to the NASA website for more information.
What was the thought of the universe before Galileo's discovery?
The Earth - with some stuff around (or above) it.
Why is the hubble spacecraft important?
The Hubble was and still is very important in our universe because it takes pictures of things we have never seen before and things we have not discovered yet. Infact, The Hubble took the most important picture ever taken in space history. It showed us where we are located in the solar system.
When was the big bang discovered?
I am not quite sure.Some websites say 1927-1930and some websites say 1889-1992so confused??????????Monsignor Georges Henri Joseph Édouard Lemaître, He was the first person to propose the theory of the expansion of the universe , widely miss-attributed to Edwin Hubble. He was also the first to derive what is now known as the Hubble's Law and made the first estimation of what is now called the Hubble Constant which he published in 1927, two years before Hubble's article on the Expanding Universe.
Did Edwin Hubble ever invent anything else than the Hubble telescope?
Edwin Hubble did not invent the Hubble Space telescope (HST).Edwin Hubble had been dead for forth years before HST was operational.HST is named after him. He was an astronomer.(See related links.)If anything can be said to be invented by Hubble, it is to be found in a few ideas that came out of a few discoveries he made such as the existence of the Universe.Only at the turn of the century with the construction of gigantic telescopes of almost a meter in diameter was it possible to distinguish the blobs known as nebulae as being outside of our galaxy. In the 1920s Hubble's observations confirmed the existence of other galaxies in the universe outside of our own galaxy, an idea that existed, but was controversial and lacked evidence earlier. (Earlier, the universe was thought to be infinite, but mostly empty except for our own little neighborhood of a few billion stars in the Milky Way. As always, we were the center of the Universe.)In the next years, Hubble expanded this with data from others to quantify the observation that the Universe was expanding. (Now called Hubble's Law.) This led, of course, to the first data supporting the Big Bang theory suggested in by Georges Lemaître in 1927.
When did Edwin Hubble invent the telescope?
Edwin Hubble was an astronomer who worked with Earth-based telescopes, and who died in 1953, before the launch of the first artificial satellite. The Hubble Space Telescope was named in his honor almost 40 years later.Additional:(See related links.)If anything can be said to be invented by Hubble, it is to be found in a few ideas that came out of a few discoveries he made such as the existence of the Universe.Only at the turn of the century with the construction of gigantic telescopes of almost a meter in diameter was it possible to distinguish the blobs known as nebulae as being outside of our galaxy.

What do scientists hope to learn about black holes?
Are ther any other planets like earth and can they substain life.
Why did Edwin hubble make a space telescope?
The Hubble Space Telescope was flown into space aboard the Space Shuttle Discovery, mission STS-31, on April 24, 1990. On the subsequent servicing mission, in December, 1993, flaws in the original optics were corrected.
Who was the first proponent of the big bang theory?
The first article proposing the idea now known as Big Bang Cosmology was written by Jesuit priest Georges LeMaitre. Alexander Friedmann had noted, in 1925, that an expanding Universe was a mathematical solution to general relativity, but never stated that (1) our Universe actually WAS expanding or (2) this fact would have observable consequences. LeMaitre proposed "Hubble's" Law two years before Hubble showed it was a reality.
What is is hubbles law?
Hubble's Law states that (more or less) the distance to a galaxy is a constant multiple of the distance to that galaxy. For example, if one galaxy is moving away from us at three times the speed of another galaxy, then that means it is also three times as far away. The Law indicates that the Universe is expanding and had a beginning. Before Hubble's Law, many astronomers thought that the Universe did not have a beginning (it always existed).
