Identify your answer by writing the corresponding letter A,B,C or D on your answer sheet. Edwin Hubble was an American astronomer whose research led to discoveries about galaxies and the nature of the universe. He settled a long debate by demonstrating that the Andromeda nebula was located outside our galaxy, establishing the islands universe theory, which states that galaxies exit outside of our own. His study of the distribution of galaxies resulted in Hubble’s constant, a standard relationship between a galaxy’s distance from the earth and its speed of recession. By 1925, Hubble had devised a classification system for the structure of galaxies and provided conclusive observational evidence for the expansion of the universe. His work pushed the one-hundred- inch Mount Wilson telescope beyond its capability and provided strong impetus for the construction of a instrument twice its size at Mount Palomar, which Hubble used during his last year of research. The telescope that bears his name was launched on a space shuttle in 1990 and orbits the earth, collecting data about the size of the universe. 1. With what topic is the passage primarily concerned?
