The Expanding Universe, the humble exonerates Hubble
The Expanding Universe, the greatest astronomical discovery of the 20th century, is generally credited to Edwin Hubble (1929).

Not by Hubble, under accusation of censorship this year, but by the translator, the humble Belgian priest and cosmologist, Lemaître himself; probably believing his work "was superseded by newer research" said Mario Livio.
