Hello,
I worked with Rob Gendler to animate the first Cepheid varible discovered in M31 by Edwin Hubble.
"This Cepheid was the first on the list of about 40 cepheids discovered by Edwin Hubble in the 1920's using the 100" hooker telescope at Mount Wilson.
The data was used to determine the distance to M31 and prove the existence of galaxies beyond our own. This had a monumental impact on cosmology and our understanding of the universe. - Rob Gendler"
