Humason, Milton Lasalle (1891-1972) American astronomer who made many of the earliest redshift measurements of galaxies. He had no formal training, and was at first a mule driver and a janitor at Mount Wilson Observatory, but in 1917 became a night assistant at 60-inch (1.5-m) telescope there <...>. In early work, Humason became an expert observer and was Edwin Hubble's chief assistant, measuring the redshifts of many 'nebulae' <...> This work, begun in 1928, led to the discovery that the Universe is expanding. Over the next three decades, Humason collaborated with astronomers such as Allan Sandage, using the largest telescopes in the world -- the 100-inch (2.5-m) at Mount Wilson and the 200-inch (5-m) at Mount Palomar <...>
