The second key was the work of Vesto Slipher, who had investigated the spiral nebulae, before Hubble's Andromeda discovery. These bodies emit light which can be split into its component colors on ...

The first solid paper demonstrating cosmic expansion was published by Edwin Hubble in 1929, based on observations made by Vesto Slipher, Milton Humason, and Henrietta Leavitt. Because of this ...

Drawing upon data from Vesto Slipher and Henrietta Leavitt, Hubble demonstrated a correlation between galactic distance and redshift. ... We now know this is due to cosmic expansion. Space itself ...

Edwin Hubble set out to answer this cosmic riddle. Vesto Slipher's observations of redshifted light revealed that spiral nebulae were moving away from Earth, hinting at a much larger universe than ...
