===Postage stamp===
On March 6, 2008, the [[United States Postal Service]] released a 41-cent stamp honoring Hubble on a sheet titled "American Scientists" designed by artist [[Victor Stabin]].<ref name=PK/> His citation reads:<ref>{{cite web|title=Hubble of the Century Sees Galaxies|url=https://socialbilitty.com/2014/04/hubble-of-the-century-sees-galaxies/|date=April 19, 2014|publisher=[[Socialbilitty]]|access-date=July 21, 2017|archive-date=October 4, 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171004085043/https://socialbilitty.com/2014/04/hubble-of-the-century-sees-galaxies/|url-status=dead}}</ref>

{{blockquote|Often called a "pioneer of the distant stars", astronomer Edwin Hubble (1889–1953) played a pivotal role in deciphering the vast and complex nature of the universe. His meticulous studies of spiral nebulae proved the existence of galaxies other than our own Milky Way. Had he not died suddenly in 1953, Hubble would have won that year's Nobel Prize in Physics.}}

(The assertion that he would have won the Nobel Prize in 1953 is likely false, although he was nominated for the prize that year.<ref>{{cite arXiv
