The Huntington houses some Carnegie papers, but if I understood Cindy correctly it's only papers, not objects.<br /><br />Because astronomers are physicists with a heightened sense of wonder, I imagine they were skeptical of Hubble's findings at first, but they couldn't fight his math. What a thrilling discovery. We talk about it now like it's no big deal, but I still can't wrap my mind around the enormity.Petrea Burchardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13043950465171821852noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1067046564433930606.post-13864825334848678792015-09-25T23:38:15.608-07:002015-09-25T23:38:15.608-07:00Is the original plate at the Smithsonian?

Hubble's find was truly mind-boggling. Imagine thinking the Universe was only the Milky Way, and suddenly realizing there were other galaxies beyond it? I wonder how long it took for other astronomers to accept it? <br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Bellishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10168550139269893109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1067046564433930606.post-15783748017288413092015-09-25T07:38:30.592-07:002015-09-25T07:38:30.592-07:00Thanks!
