Hubble's Heritage
The lecture will consider the legacy of both Edwin Hubble and the Space Telescope that bears his name - from Hubble's discovery of the expanding universe to the observations made by the Hubble Space Telescope that have, over the last two decades, given us new insights into our Universe.
Ian Morison is an astronomer and astrophysicist who served as the 35th Gresham Professor of Astronomy.
