Edwin Powel Hubble is regarded as one of the most important astronomers of20th century. In despite of his great contributions to the field of astronomy,he never received the Nobel Prize because astronomy was not considered as thefield of the Nobel Prize in Physics at that era. There is an anecdote about therelation between Hubble and the Nobel Prize. According to this anecdote, theNobel Committee decided to award the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1953 to Hubbleas the first Nobel laureate as an astronomer (Christianson 1995). However,Hubble was died just before its announcement, and the Nobel prize is notawarded posthumously. Documents of the Nobel selection committee are open after50 years, thus this anecdote can be verified. I confirmed that the Nobelselection committee endorsed Frederik Zernike as the Nobel laureate in Physicsin 1953 on September 15th, 1953, which is 13 days before the Hubble's death inSeptember 28th, 1953. I also confirmed that Hubble and Henry Norris Russellwere nominated but they are not endorsed because the Committee concluded theirastronomical works were not appropriate for the Nobel Prize in Physics.
