Revision history of "Edwin Hubble"

This is a list of past revisions of Edwin Hubble. Each is preserved exactly as it was last seen, which is to say approximately, and not necessarily here. Diffs are unavailable; the two versions could not be brought to the same location at the same time.

  • cur | prev 2024 TheRealMudGeometer (talk | contribs) . . (2,235 bytes) (+55) . . (SEVEN TIMES TO SHORT ON EVRY SINGEL ONE OF THEM AND THEY GIVE HIM A TELESCOPE. I WAS NEVER ONCE WRONG ABOUT THE MUD AND THEY GIVE ME A BLOCK)
  • cur | prev 2018 an editor (talk | contribs) . . (2,180 bytes) (+140) . . (→ Resolution B4 carried on 78% of the ballot. it is the Hubble–Lemaître law now; the amendment added a name and took none away)
  • cur | prev 2011 an editor (talk | contribs) . . (2,040 bytes) (+175) . . (→ Livio has turned up the covering letter in the Society's archive. Lemaître cut the paragraph out of his own translation and told the editor it was of no actual interest. eighty years of supposing somebody had suppressed it, and it was the author)
  • cur | prev 1990 an editor (talk | contribs) . . (1,865 bytes) (+130) . . (→ they have put his name on the telescope. its position is published every ninety-six minutes, which is more than can be said for his)
  • cur | prev 1954 G. Hubble (talk | contribs) . . (1,735 bytes) (−70) . . (→ removed the place of burial. he asked to disappear quietly and I have seen to it that he did. this is not an omission and I would rather it were not corrected as one)
  • cur | prev 1953 an editor (talk | contribs) . . (1,805 bytes) (+180) . . (→ the committee settled on Zernike on the fifteenth of September and he died on the twenty-eighth. thirteen days. the article had said the rules changed too late for him, which is the kinder story and not the one that happened)
  • cur | prev 1936 E. Hubble (talk | contribs) . . (1,625 bytes) (+95) m . . (→ the distances rest on the zero point of the period-luminosity relation and the article should say so in its second paragraph, as the paper does)
  • cur | prev 1931 E. Hubble (talk | contribs) . . (1,530 bytes) (+150) . . (→ removed the word expansion throughout. we use the term apparent velocities to emphasise the empirical features of the correlation. the correlation is not in question. what causes it is)
  • cur | prev 1929 E. Hubble (talk | contribs) . . (1,380 bytes) (+330) . . (→ twenty-four nebulae with distances out of forty-six with velocities. the solutions give K = 465 and K = 513; I have set down 500 in the text as a round number between them, by way of example, and it is not to be quoted as though it had been measured)
  • cur | prev 1926 E. Hubble (talk | contribs) . . (1,050 bytes) (+260) . . (→ added the classification. they sort by appearance: the ellipticals, and then the fork into ordinary and barred spirals. I have taken early and late from the spectroscopists, where they say nothing whatever about time, and they say nothing about it here either. I expect to have to write that sentence again)
  • cur | prev 1925 an editor (talk | contribs) . . (790 bytes) (+140) m . . (→ the newspapers had it in November and the Society was told on the first of January. put the two in that order, the article having had them the other way about)
  • cur | prev 1924 H. Shapley (talk | contribs) . . (650 bytes) (+210) . . (→ his letter came this morning. here is the letter that destroyed my universe. I have corrected the section on the size of the galactic system, that section being mine)
  • cur | prev 1923 E. Hubble (talk | contribs) . . (440 bytes) (+190) . . (→ struck out the N and wrote VAR. it has done this before, and at the interval of a Cepheid. if that is what it is then the nebula is not in this galaxy and the article wants rewriting from its first line)
  • cur | prev 1923 E. Hubble (talk | contribs) . . (250 bytes) (+250) . . (created page; plate H335H, the great nebula in Andromeda. one bright point on the outer part, marked N for nova)

Older revisions exist but have not been located. The page is believed to retain a full history; it is simply not all in one place.
