Read the passage and choose the correct answers:
The Hubble Space Telescope was named in honor of Edwin Hubble, a famous astronomer.
Hubble was born in 1889. His early life was quite ordinary. There is little hint of the remarkable work he would eventually do. In fact, it appeared that Hubble was destined to be an athlete. He excelled in Math, science and sports in high school. He won a scholarship to the University of Chicago, where he earned another scholarship in physics. He graduated from the University of Chicago in 1910. He earned degrees in both Math and astronomy. He then went to Oxford University in England to study law, not his real love, astronomy, because of a promise he had made to his father. In 1913, he earned his degree in law and returned to the U.S. to start his own law office. But after just one year, he returned to his true interest - astronomy. He earned a doctorate in astronomy in 1917, then received an invitation to work at the Mt. Wilson Observatory in California.
Hubble made four major contributions to astronomy. First, he found galaxies outside of ours. Second, he developed a way of grouping galaxies. He could determine their age, shape, brightness, and distance. By grouping galaxies, he made his third finding. He determined that galaxies are separate and take up unique areas in space. His fourth finding was his most important. He found that universe was constantly expanding or moving outward. This was a basis for the ‘Bing Bang Theory’.
Hubble received many honors and awards for his efforts; however, he never received the Nobel Prize because there was no Nobel Prize given to the field of astronomy. He died in 1953.
Hubble did not receive the Nobel Prize because
A.His contributions were not recognized
B.He had received so many awards
C.There was no Nobel Prize for astronomy
D.He did not invent the telescope
