Edwin Hubble
Edwin Powell Hubble (Marshfield, 20 novembre 1889 – San Marino, 28 settembre 1953) è stato un astronomo e astrofisico statunitense. Era noto in vita principalmente per la scoperta, assieme a Milton Humason, nel 1929, della legge empirica dello spostamento verso il rosso, oggi universalmente nota come legge di Hubble, la cui interpretazione in termini di velocità di recessione è coerente con le soluzioni di Alexander Friedman e Georges Lemaître delle equazioni di Einstein per uno spaziotempo omogeneo isotropo e in espansione.
