For humans, the most important star in the universe is our Sun .

The second -most important star is nestled inside the Andromeda galaxy.

A century ago , Edwin Hubble opened humanity's eyes as to how large the universe really is.

Today , NASA 's Hubble Space Telescope pushes the frontiers of knowledge over 10 times farther than Hubble could ever see.

Hubble tied galaxy distances to the reddening of light -- the redshift -- that proportionally increased the father away the galaxies are.

The redshift data were first collected by Lowell Observatory astronomer Vesto Slipher , who studied the "spiral nebulae" Hubble-Lemaître's law says universe appeared to be uniformly expanding.

The rate of cosmic expansion is now known as the Hubble Constant .

NASA 's Roman Space Telescope should lead to new insights into behavior of dark matter and dark energy.
