| 520 | 3 | |a Prior to the 1920s it was generally thought, with a few exceptions, that our galaxy, the Milky Way, was the entire Universe. Based on the work of Henrietta Leavitt with Cepheid variables, astronomer Edwin Hubble was able to determine that the Andromeda Galaxy and others had to lie outside our own. Moreover, based on the work of Vesto Slipher, involving the redshifts of these galaxies, Hubble was able to determine that the Universe was not static, as had been previously thought, but expanding. | |

| 545 | |a Joel L Schiff has a PhD in mathematics from the University of California, Los Angeles. He spent his career at the University of Auckland and has written three books on mathematical subjects. His latest book is about the exotic nature of orchids. But astronomy has always remained a passion since receiving a small telescope as a young boy. He was the founder/publisher of the international journal Meteorite, and in 1999, he and his wife, discovered a new asteroid from their backyard observatory. | ||
