Before Hubble's observations, the prevailing belief was that the universe was static and confined to the Milky Way; however, through his work at the Mount Wilson Observatory, Hubble discovered that other galaxies exist beyond our own and that they are moving away from us. This monumental discovery led to the formulation of Hubble's Law, which states that the velocity at which a galaxy is receding from an observer is directly proportional to its distance from the observer. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"dSoN4 _6cuve M4Ji4 SISpo\" dir=\"auto\" id=\"viewer-q43xv575\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"-buxx\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHubble's contributions fundamentally changed our understanding of the universe.

Before Hubble's observations, the prevailing belief was that the universe was static and confined to the Milky Way; however, through his work at the Mount Wilson Observatory, Hubble discovered that other galaxies exist beyond our own and that they are moving away from us. This monumental discovery led to the formulation of Hubble's Law, which states that the velocity at which a galaxy is receding from an observer is directly proportional to its distance from the observer. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"dSoN4 _6cuve M4Ji4 SISpo\" dir=\"auto\" id=\"viewer-q43xv575\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"-buxx\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHubble's contributions fundamentally changed our understanding of the universe.

Only one out of 1,000 hatchlings survives to reach adulthood.
