I feel this page needs to be expanded for someone who has done so much in the world of Astronomy.

I think an important fact to note is why Humason's name is not associated with Hubble's Law. The reason why only Hubble's name is associated with it is that Humasaon did not come to the same conclusions as Hubble. He did not believe that the redshifting starlight should be interpreted as a doppler effect or at the very least the evidence was not conclusive. Since the rest of the physics community did interpret it that way and that he would not sign on to that school of thought his name was lost to scientific history, sadly. Someone should add that to the article. --76.31.242.174 (talk) 06:39, 26 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
