Edwin Hubble made significant contributions to our understanding of the universe. He is best known for:
* Discovering that the universe is expanding: He observed that galaxies are moving away from each other, and the farther they are, the faster they are moving. This discovery led to the development of the Big Bang theory.
* Classifying galaxies: He developed a system for classifying galaxies based on their shapes, which is still used today.
Naming the telescope after him was a fitting tribute to his legacy and the impact he had on astronomy.
