Edwin Hubble
By Isamilla & Nelleke
The Hubble space telescope was named after Edwin Hubble.
He had three laws of motion.
He hypothosized that the nebulae were their own galaxies.
<span>He imagined the earth at the </span>
center of the universe with the sun, the moon, the stars and the planets orbiting it in perfect circles.
Newton put Kepler and Galileo's ideas together and discovered that the reason that things fall on the ground is the same reason that planets orbit around the sun.
He made a telescope that could magnify
up to 30 times.
<span>He discovered that Copernicus' theory </span>
was true. "We're not the center of the universe."
He found out that the planets orbit the
sun in ellipses (oval shapes).
He explained how the tides were made by the moon.
He figured out that the speed of the planets depend on the sun.
Halley discovered a comet. It was discovered in 1705. It will come around again in 2061

The outpouring of millions of ballots for the Democratic ticket reflected the enormous admiration for what FDR had achieved in less than four years. He had been inaugurated in March 1933 during perilous times—one-third of the workforce jobless, industry all but paralyzed, farmers desperate, most of the banks shut down—and in his first 100 days he had put through a series of measures that lifted the nation’s spirits. In 1933 workers and businessmen marched in spectacular parades to demonstrate their support for the National Recovery Administration (NRA), Roosevelt’s agency for industrial mobilization, symbolized by its emblem, the blue eagle. Farmers were grateful for government subsidies dispensed by the newly created Agricultural Adjustment Administration
