In 1924 Edwin Hubble's measurement of the great distance to the nearest spiral nebulae showed that these systems were indeed other galaxies.

The primary source of verification of this expansion was provided by Edwin Hubble who demonstrated that all galaxies and distant astronomical objects were moving away from us (" Hubble's law ") as predicted by a universal expansion.

File: Edwin Hubble with pipe. jpg | Edwin Hubble ( 1889-1953 ): discovered of the existence of galaxies other than the Milky Way and galactic red shift, found that the loss in frequency — the redshift — observed in the spectra of light from other galaxies increased in proportion to a particular galaxy's distance from Earth: Hubble's law

Subsequently, Edwin Hubble discovered an approximate relationship between the redshifts of such " nebulae " ( now known to be galaxies in their own right ) and the distances to them with the formulation of his eponymous Hubble's law.

The Friedmann – Lemaître – Robertson – Walker metric that is necessary for the Big Bang and Steady State models emerged in the decade after the development of Einstein's general relativity and was accepted as a model for the universe after Edwin Hubble's discovery of his eponymous law.

The idea comes from a perceived need to reconcile Edwin Hubble's observation of an expanding universe ( which was also predicted from Einstein's equations of general relativity by Alexander Friedmann ) with the notion that the universe must be eternally old.

* Edwin Hubble publishes his discovery that the speed at which galaxies recede positively correlates with their distance, which becomes known as Hubble's law, the basis for understanding that the universe is expanding.

Being of the belief that nebulae were local, stellar and gaseous systems that existed in our galaxy, his measurements came to be at odds with Edwin Hubble's discovery that the Andromeda Nebula and other spiral nebulae were extragalactic objects.

His observations played a major role in the development of physical cosmology, including assisting Edwin Hubble in formulating Hubble's law.

The scientific consensus today is the Big Bang model, which was proposed in the 1920s and corroborated by Edwin Hubble's discovery of the Hubble Law in 1929, and later by the discovery of the cosmic microwave background radiation by Arno Allan Penzias and Robert Woodrow Wilson in 1964.
