Several astronomers who were advocates of Johannes 's theories tested them by observing Mercury 's transit in orbit. It proved Johannes 's theories to be true, despite his own certainty of the planet 's orbit. The main driving force for the spread of Johannes 's theories was one of his later books, Epitome of Copernican Astronomy, that many astronomers read and adopted after Johannes 's death.
It led many astronomers to believe Johannes 's theory of elliptical orbits First Law , but his theory on celestial motions Second. With all the discoveries Hubble would not allow what he had already discovered to be all that he had worked for. It was in this matter that Hubble was able to work with the information provided by Vesto Slipher. Through the careful mesurement of the Doppler shift of other galaxies, he was able to determine that there was a few galaxies that were moving at very high speeds heading towards the Milky Way.
It was also through measuring the Doppler shift that Hubble was able to prove through a paper that he wrote in explaining that, and proving the universe was expanding. He was made a mathematics professor at Cambridge at age 29, and later in life became a warden of the mint, but few demands were made on his time in either position since he was more inclined to quiet reflection than to public activity. In terms of Newton's personal philosophy, he was by all accounts a sincere Christian, although like many men of his age, he harbored his own ideas about particular points of dogma.
