'''Edwin Hubble''' (November 29, 1889 – September 28, 1953) was an [[American]] [[astronomy|astronomer]].
Among his contributions to the field of astronomy was the discovery that the vast majority of [[galaxy|galaxies]] have [[redshift|red-shifted]] light, indicating that they are receding from the point of reference ([[Earth]]). These observations provided support for scientific models of a [[Big Bang]] origin of the universe, contrary to models supported by [[Albert Einstein]] and others. The [[Hubble Space Telescope]] is named after him.
