Difference between Andromeda Galaxy and Edwin Hubble

Andromeda Galaxy vs. Edwin Hubble

The Andromeda Galaxy, also known as Messier 31, M31, or NGC 224, is a spiral galaxy approximately 780 kiloparsecs (2.5 million light-years) from Earth, and the nearest major galaxy to the Milky Way. Edwin Powell Hubble (November 20, 1889 – September 28, 1953) was an American astronomer.

Similarities between Andromeda Galaxy and Edwin Hubble

Andromeda Galaxy and Edwin Hubble have 13 things in common (in Unionpedia): Cepheid variable, Doppler effect, Galaxy, Great Debate (astronomy), Harlow Shapley, Hubble Space Telescope, Immanuel Kant, Luminosity, Milky Way, Mount Wilson Observatory, Nature (journal), Triangulum Galaxy, Vesto Slipher.

Cepheid variable

A Cepheid variable is a type of star that pulsates radially, varying in both diameter and temperature and producing changes in brightness with a well-defined stable period and amplitude.

Doppler effect

The Doppler effect (or the Doppler shift) is the change in frequency or wavelength of a wave in relation to observer who is moving relative to the wave source.
