Why Is Vesto M. Slipher Influential?

(Suggest an Edit or Addition)

According to Wikipedia, Vesto Melvin Slipher was an American astronomer who performed the first measurements of radial velocities for galaxies. He was the first to discover that distant galaxies are redshifted, thus providing the first empirical basis for the expansion of the universe. He was also the first to relate these redshifts to velocity.
