Hubble Law facts
While investigating facts about Hubble Law, I found out little known, but curios details like:
A Catholic Priest, Georges Lemaître, was first to propose what became known as the Big Bang theory. The origin of the universe, which he called his "hypothesis of the primeval atom" or the "Cosmic Egg." And was first to derive what is now known as Hubble's law.
Milton Humason, a high school dropout, janitor, and mule-driver who helped haul equipment to the Mount Wilson Observatory, later assisted Edwin Hubble in formulating Hubble's law
In my opinion, it is useful to put together a list of the most interesting details from trusted sources that I've come across. Here are 5 of the best facts about Hubble Law I managed to collect.
