He was a member of the University of Chicago championship basketball team in 1909 . He was also an excellent boxer . Several people urged him to train for the world heavyweight boxing championship after college . Instead , he decided to continue his studies . He went to Queen’s College at Oxford , England . At Oxford , Hubble studied law . He was interested in British Common Law , because his family had come to America from England many years before . He spent 7 years at Oxford .
In 1913 , Hubble returned to the United States . He opened a law office in Louisville , Kentucky . After a short time , however , he decided he did not want to be a lawyer . He returned to the University of Chicago . There , once again , he studied astronomy .
Hubble watched the night sky with instruments at the university’s Yerkes Observatory . His research involved a major question astronomers could not answer : What are nebulae（星云）?
In his research paper , Hubble said the issue could be decided only by more powerful instruments . And those instruments had not yet been developed .
Soon after , Hubble bagan working with a larger and more powerful telescope at Mount Wilson . Its mirror was 250 centimeters across . It was the most powerful telescope in the world for 25 years .It had the power Hubble needed to make his major discoveries .
From 1922 on , Edwin Hubble began examining more and more distant objects . His first great discovery was made when he recognized a Cepheid variable star . It was in the outer area of the great nebula called Andromeda . Cepheid variable stars are stars whose brightness changes at regular periods .
