focused on nebulae,which are misty patches of light in the sky.In 1924,he announced the discovery of a star in a nebula.He calculated that this star was much further away than anyone had thought and that therefore the nebula was not inside our galaxy,but a galaxy of stars just like the Milky Way,only much further away.His discovery enabled the world to realize that the universe was much bigger than had been previously presumed.Hubble wanted to classify the galaxies according to their content,distance,shape and brightness patterns,and in his observations he made another great discovery:the galaxies were moving away from each other at a rate constant to the distance between them.This is known as Hubbles law.The greater the distance between them,the faster they move away from each other.This supported the big bang theory of how the universe came into being.Hubble died in 1953.To honor his great contribution to space exploration,his name was chosen for the worlds most powerful space telescope,the Hubble Space
