    Edwin Hubble

    By Isamilla & Nelleke

    The Hubble space telescope was named after Edwin Hubble.

    He had three laws of motion.

    He hypothosized that the nebulae were their own galaxies.

    He imagined the earth at the

    center of the universe with the sun, the moon, the stars and the planets orbiting it in perfect circles.

    Newton put Kepler and Galileo's ideas together and discovered that the reason that things fall on the ground is the same reason that planets orbit around the sun.

    He made a telescope that could magnify

    up to 30 times.

    He discovered that Copernicus' theory

    was true. "We're not the center of the universe."

    He found out that the planets orbit the

    sun in ellipses (oval shapes).

    He explained how the tides were made by the moon.

    He figured out that the speed of the planets depend on the sun.

    Halley discovered a comet. It was discovered in 1705. It will come around again in 2061
