It should also be pointed out that Milton Humason was a lowly
muleskinner who worked on hauling the 100" mirror for the Hooker
telescope up Mount Wilson. He reckoned that astronomy might be
an interesting occupation, and he was taken on by Edwin Hubble,
who showed him the ropes. Together they discovered the startling
expansion of the universe.
