David Oscarson Edwin Hubble Fountain Pen – Team (Limited Edition #05/63)
The Man Who Expanded the Universe
Born in Marshfield, Missouri, Edwin Hubble is best known for his groundbreaking work in the field of astronomy, particularly his discovery that the universe is expanding. Before Hubble’s observations, the prevailing belief was that the universe was static and confined to the Milky Way; however, through his work at the Mount Wilson Observatory, Hubble discovered that other galaxies exist beyond our own and that they are moving away from us. This monumental discovery led to the formulation of Hubble’s Law, which states that the velocity at which a galaxy is receding from an observer is directly proportional to its distance from the observer. .
Hubble’s contributions fundamentally changed our understanding of the universe. His name has been immortalized through the Hubble Space Telescope which continues to explore the far reaches of space. Like the Telescope, Edwin Hubble’s discoveries transformed the frontier of scientific knowledge. His work took us beyond the Milky Way and placed us in an ever-expanding universe with myriads of galaxies beyond our own.
The Edwin Hubble collection is a celebration of the cosmos and the countless mysteries that Hubble helped unravel. Crafted from Sterling Silver and Hot Enamel, the Hubble collection is a marvel of design and symbolism. Each aspect of the pen reflects a different element of Hubble’s astronomical legacy.
The intricate engravings on the pen’s body feature elliptical orbits, representing the solar system’s planets and their paths around the sun. These orbits are not merely decorative; they serve as a reminder of the celestial mechanics that Hubble studied and the cosmic dance that governs our universe.
