The hubble is a unit of distance sometimes used in astronomy. The hubble is a gigantic unit, equal to 10E9 light years.

In practice, most astronomers use the megaparsec for measuring such stupendous distances. The unit honors the American astronomer Edwin Hubble (1889-1953), who discovered the expansion of the Universe later explained by the Big Bang theory.
