Edwin Hubble is without question one of the most famous astronomers in history with stellar credentials from the University of Chicago Hubble not only discovered the universe is expanding leading to the Big Bang Theory but he quantified the rate of expansion through a law that bears his name today however we don't focus our sights on the luminary Hubble but instead on his collaborator Milton Honasan hummus and was born in 891 in the tiny town of Dodge Center Minnesota at age 14 his family moved to California where upon he attended camp at Mount Wilson It was a period of great excitement as preparations were being made for the arrival of a new massive telescope and thrall by what he encountered Hamas and left high school to work for a year leading mule powered wagons laden with building supplies up the mountain one year stretched into 5 at which point the young man met his wife to be Helen Dowd they married and homeless and took a job as a ranch foreman east of Los Angeles homeless and never returned to high school nor any other school for that matter but after 7 years the call of the observatory proved too strong when the observatory's engineer who also happened to be homeless and father in law told the 26 year old about a job as janitor hummus and. But it wasn't just a desire to simply be near the telescope high in the mountains tucked away from civilization hummus and knew that even an aspiring janitor could be called upon to help out with the equipment and that's exactly what happened hummus and became adept at manipulating the telescopes to take pictures a meticulous process given the motion of the stars within 3 years how missing was promoted from janitor to staff a controversial step given competition for the job and home a sense a lack of credentials but hummus and didn't disappoint he was not only good with photography but with the endless hours spent examining photographic plates looking for minute details hummus and worked closely with Hubble for many years providing much of the spade work contributing to Hubble success but while hummus and never achieved the stature of Hubble he was nonetheless greatly respected by his peers Hubble and Thompson's names appeared jointly on a long list of publications and after decades of spending cool dark evenings under the stars homeless and was appointed secretary of the observatory here he devoted much of his time to answering letters from people all over the world in all walks of life his correspondence shows a man whose patience watching the stars translated into a cordial patience with the many viewpoints he encountered homeless and retired in 1957 at the age of 66 settling into a small town on the northern California coast there he and wife Helen lived together quietly and happily for their remaining years.
