Sixty years ago, Edwin Hubble was featured on the cover of TIME weekly news magazine concerning an article " Look Upward " on the Palomar 200-inch reflector. Hubble was the first to deny that all the credit for the expanding universe theory was his as many others from Harvard's Harlow Shapley to Belgium's Abbé Georges Lemaitre had contributed.
It also mentions astronomer Fritz Zwicky who hoped to go gunning with the 200-inch for neutron stars and gravitational lenses. Talking about the latter, Albert Einstein was also featured in the same magazine about the future of the USA & Europe... huh.gif
