Jabarkan Sejarah dari Kumpulan Tempatan dalam bahasa melayu

Edwin Hubble yang adalah orang pertama untuk mengenalkan Kumpulan Tempatan dalam Bab 6 bukunya The Realm of Nebulae (Hubble 1936, pp. 124–151). There he describes it as "a typical small group of nebulae which is isolated in the general field." In that book, he delineated by decreasing luminosity its members to be M31, the Bima Sakti, M33, the Awan Magellan Besar, the Awan Magellan Kecil, M32, NGC 205, NGC 6822, NGC 185, IC 1613 and NGC 147.  He also identified IC 10 as a possible Local Group member. In the ~70 years since his work, the number of known Local Group members has increased from his initial twelve to thirty-six as of 2003, by way of the discovery of almost two dozen low-luminosity galaxies.
