Eye in the heavens

Usage examples of hubble.

Hubble had his back to them, and the tall Blackshirt, the one called McGruder, was helping him remove his shirt, exposing a thin, bruised arm and a hand that was now darkened almost to the wrist.

Hubble had recruited into his Fascist army the Blackshirts had always appeared in small groups before now but had figured their numbers to be maybe a hundred or so, and today they seemed to be out in force.

Hubble was born in 1889, ten years after Einstein, in a small Missouri town on the edge of the Ozarks and grew up there and in Wheaton, Illinois, a suburb of Chicago.

Hubble did well enough in its day with detail down to less than one hundred milliarcseconds across.

The notion that he'd lost four valuable blood donors would have sent Hubble into a frenzy and I pitied the fool who'd broken the news to him that they'd fire-bombed the station.

Zwicky said he began with the absolute certainty that dwarf galaxies must exist, because Edwin Hubble said they could not .

Since 1929, when Edwin Hubble formulated the law that redshift increases proportionally with distance, redshift has been the key to interpreting the size of the universe as well as being the prime evidence indicating it to be expanding from an initially compact object.

This time, however, I took nothing for granted, not even the Hubble Constant.

The best way to measure the Hubble constant was by studying the most distant observable type la supernovae, which, like the Cepheids formerly studied in the same way, could all be assumed to have the same intrinsic brightness, so the dimmer they seemed, the farther they were.

For instance, it was the Time Laboratory which first derived the correct value for the Hubble Constant.

I also remembered that old what's-his-face told us it was a lot of crap, since the Hubble Constant showed that the universe wasn't ever going to collapse again anyway.

It would appear that something went bang in a major fashion about fifteen billion years ago, but the scientific evidence for that -- the three-degree background radiation, the Hubble constant and so forth -- does not at all suggest *why* such an event should have happened in the first place.

The in-space fix of the Hubble Space Telescope was a spectacular success.

Even a very powerful ground-based telescope will produce a fuzzy image, which is why the Hubble Space Telescope is in orbit round the Earth.

The Voyager images of to can be compared with much poorer images taken by ground-based telescopes 50 years earlier, and by the Hubble Space Telescope 13 years later.
