  2. Edwin Hubble - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edwin_Hubble

    Edwin Hubble was born to Virginia Lee Hubble (née James) (1864–1934) [14] and John Powell Hubble, an insurance executive, in Marshfield, Missouri, and moved to Wheaton, Illinois, in 1900. [15] In his younger days, he was noted more for his athletic prowess than his intellectual abilities, although he did earn good grades in every subject ...

  3. Milky Way - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milky_Way

    There are several methods being used in astronomy in defining the size of a galaxy, and each of them can yield different results with respect to one another. The most commonly employed method is the D 25 standard – the isophote where the photometric brightness of a galaxy in the B-band (445 nm wavelength of light, in the blue part of the ...

  4. Galaxy formation and evolution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galaxy_formation_and_evolution

    The study of galaxy formation and evolution is concerned with the processes that formed a heterogeneous universe from a homogeneous beginning, the formation of the first galaxies, the way galaxies change over time, and the processes that have generated the variety of structures observed in nearby galaxies. Galaxy formation is hypothesized to ...

  5. Dark Energy Survey - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dark_Energy_Survey

    The Dark Energy Survey (DES) is an astronomical survey designed to constrain the properties of dark energy.It uses images taken in the near-ultraviolet, visible, and near-infrared to measure the expansion of the universe using Type Ia supernovae, baryon acoustic oscillations, the number of galaxy clusters, and weak gravitational lensing.

    The Space Telescope Science Institute ( STScI) is the science operations center for the Hubble Space Telescope (HST), science operations and mission operations center for the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), and science operations center for the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope. [1] STScI was established in 1981 as a community-based science ...

    Galileo di Vincenzo Bonaiuti de' Galilei (15 February 1564 – 8 January 1642), commonly referred to as Galileo Galilei (/ ˌ ɡ æ l ɪ ˈ l eɪ oʊ ˌ ɡ æ l ɪ ˈ l eɪ / GAL-il-AY-oh GAL-il-AY, US also / ˌ ɡ æ l ɪ ˈ l iː oʊ-/ GAL-il-EE-oh -⁠, Italian: [ɡaliˈlɛːo ɡaliˈlɛːi]) or simply Galileo, was an Italian astronomer, physicist and engineer, sometimes described as a ...

  8. Alyson Brooks - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alyson_Brooks

    Her results suggest that stars and supernovae displace dark matter, reorganising the universe in a manner consistent with experimental observations which cannot directly detect dark matter. Brooks collaborates with high energy particle physicists who are interested in applying her findings to help tune dark matter astrophysical models. [1]

  9. Henrietta Swan Leavitt - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henrietta_Swan_Leavitt

    Henrietta Swan Leavitt ( / ˈlɛvɪt /; July 4, 1868 – December 12, 1921 [2]) was an American astronomer. [1] Her discovery of how to effectively measure vast distances to remote galaxies led to a shift in the scale and understanding of the scale and the nature of the universe. [3] Nomination of Leavitt for the Nobel Prize had to be halted ...
