Edwin Hubble demonstrated that The Milky Way (our galaxy) is not the only galaxy that exists, but that there are many more galaxies in the universe.

Also, he examined the wavelength of light coming from various galaxies, and determined that the further away it was, the greater the shift of wavelength into the red end of the spectrum. This is called 'Hubble's Law' and meant that the whole universe was expanding and not just that objects were moving within it.
