After her death, her son Elliott Roosevelt wrote a series of best-selling fictional murder mysteries wherein she acted as a detective, helping the police solve the crime, while she was First Lady. This campaign was long unsuccessful and it appeared that Hubble's great achievements would remain unrewarded.

In 1929 Hubble and Milton Humason formulated the empirical Redshift Distance Law of galaxies, nowadays known as Hubble's law, which, once the redshift is interpreted as a measure of recession speed, is consistent with the solutions of Einstein’s General Relativity Equations for an homogeneous, isotropic expanding space.

Kennedy received the presidential nomination instead. Hubble was generally credited with discovering² the redshift of galaxies. She backed Stevenson once again in 1960 but John F.
