Edwin Hubble
Astronomer (1889–1953) regarded as one of the most important observational cosmologists of the 20th century and the namesake of the orbiting Hubble Telescope. Sought-after ink signature, "Edwin Hubble, Mt. Wilson Observatory, Pasadena, California, U.S.A.," with inscription below, "F. B. Peterson, N. Y.,” on an off-white 4 x 2.5 sheet. In fine condition, with light soiling to the left edge. Using the Hooker telescope at the Mt. Wilson Observatory in 1922-23, Hubble was able to prove that the universe extends beyond the Milky Way galaxy and that several nebula were millions of light-years away; such information that led him to posit that the universe was expanding. Encapsulated in a PSA/DNA authentication holder.
