Celebrate Edwin Powell Hubble's birthday!

     Wednesday, November 20th is the birthday of Edwin Powell Hubble.  He was born in 1889 and was one of the greatest American astronomers.  He believed in the great expanse of the universe.

     In honor of Mr. Hubble's contributions to space, the Hubble Space Telescope was named after him on April 25, 1990.  The Hubble Space Telescope was taken into space aboard the U.S. shuttle, Discovery.  Sending the telescope into orbit allows astronomers to explore the universe better than any telescope used here on earth.

     While a trip to space is still far off into our future we can get a glimpse of our universe by visiting the Suffolk County Vanderbilt Museum and Planetarium.
