identification of the parasite that was killing silkworms. | James Maxwell | 1831 - 1879 | He is known for the "Treatise on Electricity and Magnetism" published in 1873. Maxwell independently developed the "Maxwell-Boltzmann kinetic theory of gases". | Edwin Hubble | 1889 - 1953 | "Hubble’s Law" stated that galaxies move away from each other at a speed determined by the distance that separated them. He classified galaxies as per their distance‚ shape‚ brightness patterns and content. | Emil Fisher | 1852

new technology such as the Hubble Space Telescope expanded how we view the whole universe (Hubble 1). Americans longed to discover the wide expanse of space and The Hubble assised just that. The Hubble Space Telescope is unlike any other telescope as it is positioned a staggering 353 miles above earth’s surface. Although The Hubble has returned over one hundred thousand photos‚ the telescopes significance actually lies in what we can learn from the captured images (Hubble 3). Astronomers have viewed

1. Introduction The Hubble Space telescope has been Orbiting the Earth for over two decades‚ Hubble has helped to answer some of the most compelling astronomical questions of our time – and uncovered mysteries we never knew existed. Investigating everything from black holes to planets around other stars‚ Hubble has changed the face of astronomy‚ ushering in a new chapter of humanity’s exploration of the universe. Although named to honor astronomer Edwin Hubble‚ the telescope was championed by

Both of these explain the existence of God through the study of Cosmology and the many findings by astrologists like Edwin Hubble‚ and simply what exists around society. Starting off‚ the atheistic view of the beginning of the universe occurring by chance is irrational and irreverent in many ways. The thought of the universe just existing from no cause‚ let alone not a

We have put a man on the moon and have educated our society about our universe. We have built an international space station that allows human beings to live outside our atmosphere for years‚ researching and studying so that we may understand Earth in a much better way.

is dynamic. It is ever changing. This contradicted the popular view that the universe was static. That was the view that Einstein held earlier and was a guiding factor in his development of the general theory of relativity. In 1929‚ astronomer Edwin Hubble discovered that the universe was indeed expanding‚ thus confirming Einstein’s work. On April 2‚ 1921‚ Einstein visited New York City for the first time‚ where he received an official welcome by Mayor John Francis Hylan. He then lectured and went
