(wn)		Hubble
n 1: United States astronomer who discovered that (as the

increases with their distance from the observer (1889-1953)

Hubble Space Telescope
(gcide)		Hubble Telescope \Hub"ble Tel"e*scope\, Hubble Space Telescope
\Hub"ble Space Tel"e*scope\, n.
A large astromical optical telescope placed into orbit around
the earth, from which, in the absence of absorption and
distortion by the earth's atmosphere, clear high-resolution
images of astronomical objects can be obtained in the
visible, infrared, and ultraviolet wavelengths. The telescope
was launched into orbit on April 24, 1990. Since then the
telescope has taken thousands of images, many of them unique,
recording never before seen astronomical phenomena. Service
missions were performed in 1993 and 1997, during which
astronauts upgraded or replaced equipment on the telescope.

(gcide)		Hubble-bubble \Hub"ble-bub`ble\, n.
A tobacco pipe, so arranged that the smoke passes through
water, making a bubbling noise, whence its name. In India,
the bulb containing the water is often a cocoanut shell. It
is a simple type of hookah.

hubble constant
(wn)		Hubble constant
n 1: (cosmology) the ratio of the speed of recession of a galaxy
(due to the expansion of the universe) to its distance from
the observer; the Hubble constant is not actually a
constant, but is regarded as measuring the expansion rate
today [syn: Hubble's constant, Hubble constant,
Hubble's parameter, Hubble parameter]
hubble law
(wn)		Hubble law
n 1: (astronomy) the generalization that the speed of recession
of distant galaxies (the red shift) is proportional to
their distance from the observer [syn: Hubble's law,
Hubble law]
