The riveting and mesmerizing report behind a watershed period in history, the discovery of the startling size and true nature of our world.
On New Years Day in 1925, a young Edwin Hubble released his finding that our Universe was considerably bigger, eventually assessed as one thousand trillion times larger than previously believed. Hubble’s proclamation directed shock waves through the technological community. Six years later, in a series of meetings at Support Wilson Observatory, Hubble and others convinced Albert Einstein that the Universe was not static but in fact increasing. Here Marcia Bartusiak reveals the key players, fights of will, brilliant insights, outstanding technology, ground-breaking research, and wrong turns made by the early investigators of the heavens as they raced to uncover what many consider one of most significant discoveries in technological history.
