In 1911, Carnegie became a sympathetic benefactor to George Ellery Hale, who was trying to build the 100 inch ( 2. 5 m ) Hooker Telescope at Mount Wilson, and donated an additional ten million dollars to the Carnegie Institution with the following suggestion to expedite the construction of the telescope: " I hope the work at Mount Wilson will be vigorously pushed, because I am so anxious to hear the expected results from it.

Starting in 1924, Hubble painstakingly developed a series of distance indicators, the forerunner of the cosmic distance ladder, using the Hooker telescope at Mount Wilson Observatory.

Edwin Hubble's arrival at Mount Wilson, California, in 1919 coincided roughly with the completion of the Hooker Telescope, then the world's largest telescope.

* December 13-The red giant star Betelgeuse is the first to have its diameter determined by an optical astronomical interferometer, the Michelson stellar interferometer on Mount Wilson Observatory's reflector telescope.

The era of the large glass-mirror reflector had begun, with telescopes such as Andrew Ainslie Common's 1879 36 inch ( 91 cm ) and 1887 60 inch ( 152 cm ) reflectors built at Ealing, and the first of the " modern " large glass mirror research reflectors, 60 inch ( 150 cm ) Mount Wilson Observatory Hale telescope of 1908, and the 100 inch ( 2. 5 m ) Mount Wilson Hooker telescope in 1917.

The telescope was first installed at Mount Wilson Observatory in 1889.

This would make it the second largest telescope in the world, second only to the instrument at Mount Wilson Observatory.

Saint-Gobain cast the glass blanks of some of the largest optical reflecting telescopes of the early 20th century, including the ground-breaking Hale telescope ( online in 1908 ) and 100 inch ( 2. 5 m ) Hooker telescope ( online 1917 ) at Mount Wilson Observatory ( USA ), and the Plaskett telescope ( online in 1918 ) at Dominion Astrophysical Observatory ( Canada ).

The supernova was found 10 ″ northwest of the nucleus on April 6, 1945 by Milton L. Humason using the telescope at Mount Wilson Observatory.

Soon after his death through the advocacy of Walter Baade when he arrived at the Mount Wilson Observatory in the United States, the Schmidt telescope idea took off.

The membership of NGC 147 in the Local Group was confirmed by Walter Baade in 1944 when he was able to resolve the galaxy into individual stars with the telescope at Mount Wilson near Los Angeles.

Through his telescope, David sees child neighbor Kathy Wilson walking in the sandpit, when suddenly she disappears underground.

The Wilson telescope was retired in 1974 ( to the Merseyside Museums ), and was replaced the following year with a new 24-inch Ritchey-Chrétien Cassegrain reflector which was named after the former director of the Observatory, Professor C. W.

In the Preface of Humanist Manifesto II, in 1973, the authors Paul Kurtz and Edwin H. Wilson assert that faith and knowledge are required for a hopeful vision for the future.

Vector calculus was developed from quaternion analysis by J. Willard Gibbs and Oliver Heaviside near the end of the 19th century, and most of the notation and terminology was established by Gibbs and Edwin Bidwell Wilson in their 1901 book, Vector Analysis.

Gibbs's lecture notes on vector calculus were privately printed in 1881 and 1884 for the use of his students, and were later adapted by Edwin Bidwell Wilson into a textbook, Vector Analysis, published in 1901.

Gibbs's principal protégé was Edwin Bidwell Wilson, who nonetheless explained that " except in the classroom I saw very little of Gibbs.

Gibbs's protegé Edwin Bidwell Wilson became, in turn, a mentor to leading American economist and Nobel Laureate Paul Samuelson.

Thoreau also influenced naturalists like John Burroughs, John Muir, E. O. Wilson, Edwin Way Teale, Joseph Wood Krutch, B. F. Skinner, David Brower and Loren Eiseley, whom Publishers Weekly called " the modern Thoreau.

Anton de Bary invented the concept of symbiosis ; several Russian biologists promoted the idea ; Edwin Wilson mentioned it in his text The Cell ; as did Ivan Emmanuel Wallin in his Symbionticism and the origin of species ; and there was a brief mention by Julian Huxley in 1930 ; all in vain because sufficient evidence was lacking.

( Edwin P. Wilson claimed he had seen a telegram showing that Libya paid Billy Carter two million dollars.

He also published some of his early papers in the American Mathematical Society due to his contact with American mathematicians in Paris — particularly Edwin Wilson.

The original cast included Christie MacDonald as Princess Jeanne / Sylvia, Thomas Conkey as Prince Franz, Edwin Wilson as Lieutenant Karl, Frank Belcher as Petrus Von Trump, Tom McNaughton as Mikel Mikeloviz, Ethel Du Fre Houston as Dame Paula, and Hazel Kirk as Liane.

He may have been recruited by Ted Shackley, joining his Secret Team that had been involved with Edwin Wilson, Thomas Clines, Carl Jenkins, Rafael Quintero, Felix Rodriguez and Luis Posada Carriles, in the CIA “ assassination ” program.

Wilson was born in the small town of Trinity, Texas, to Charles Edwin Wilson, an accountant for a local timber company, and Wilmuth Wilson, a local florist, on June 1, 1933.

He supported the careers of many leading actors of the time such as Master Betty, his wife Elizabeth Satchell, his sister Elizabeth Whitlock, George Frederick Cooke, Harriet Pye Esten, John Edwin, Joseph Munden, Grist, Elizabeth Inchbald, Pauline Hall, Wilson, Charles Incledon, Egan.

In 1901, Josiah Willard Gibbs and Edwin Bidwell Wilson wrote: " This symbolic operator was introduced by Sir W. R. Hamilton and is now in universal employment.

There, they also hosted receptions on Sunday evenings which drew notable figures including P. T. Barnum, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, John Greenleaf Whittier, Horace Greeley, Bayard Taylor and his wife, Richard and Elizabeth Stoddard, Robert Dale Owen, Oliver Johnson, Mary E. Dodge, Mrs. Croly, Mrs. Victor, Edwin H. Chapin, Henry M. Field, Charles F. Deems, Samuel Bowles, Thomas B. Aldrich, Anna E. Dickinson, George Ripley, Madame Le Vert, Henry Wilson, Justin McCarthy ; in short, all the noted contemporary names in the different departments of literature and art might fairly be added to the list.

In 1919, Hubble was offered a staff position in California by George Ellery Hale, the founder and director of the Carnegie Institution's Mount Wilson Observatory, near Pasadena, California, where he remained on the staff until his death.

Hubble continued his research at the Mount Wilson and Mount Palomar Observatories, where he remained active until his death.

Wilson, Hubble identified Cepheid variables ( a kind of star ; see also standard candle ) in several spiral nebulae, including the Andromeda Nebula and Triangulum.

At Mount Wilson, he hired and encouraged Harlow Shapley and Edwin Hubble toward some of the most significant discoveries of the time.

When Hubble trained the 100-inch Hooker Telescope at Mount Wilson Observatory, he was able to identify individual stars in those galaxies, and determine the distance to the galaxies by isolating individual Cepheids.

The scientific consensus today is the Big Bang model, which was proposed in the 1920s and corroborated by Edwin Hubble's discovery of the Hubble Law in 1929, and later by the discovery of the cosmic microwave background radiation by Arno Allan Penzias and Robert Woodrow Wilson in 1964.

It was discovered in 1949 by Edwin Hubble and again in 1955 by A. G. Wilson.
