-'''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 [[Albert Einstein|Einstein's]] [[General Theory of Relativity]], and support scientific models of a "[[Big Bang]]" origin of the universe.  The [[Hubble Space Telescope]] is named after him.
