He found a constant relationship between galaxies' redshift and distance, which helped to eventually prove that the universe is expanding
Redshift -
At least three types of redshift occur in the universe — from the universe's expansion, from the movement of galaxies relative to each other and from "gravitational redshift," which happens when light is shifted due to the massive amount of matter inside of a galaxy
happens when light or other electromagnetic radiation from an object is increased in the wavelength

The expanding-universe theory has largely been accepted by scientists worldwide. Hubble's and Humason's research work also helped prove that galaxies must come from a central point of origin, and was used by some scientists to support the Big Bang Theory—one of the most popular theories on the universe's origin, which was first suggested by Georges Lemaître in 1927.
