Detailed explanation-1: -We now know that the objects that Hubble observed are galaxies, similar to our own Milky Way, and that there are billions of them in the observable Universe. Hubble’s discovery provided additional evidence for what was to become known as Big Bang theory, first proposed by Georges Lemaître in 1927.
Detailed explanation-2: -The Hubble Space Telescope’s observations have helped astronomers to pinpoint more precisely the age of the Universe since the Big Bang, as this was one of the telescope’s primary science goals. Today we know the age of the Universe to a much higher precision than before Hubble: around 13.7 billion years.
Detailed explanation-3: -Evidence for an Expanding Universe In the course of five years, Edwin Hubble twice changed our understanding of the Universe, helping to lay the foundations for the Big Bang theory. First he demonstrated that the Universe was much larger than previously thought, then he proved that the Universe is expanding.
