AIP spotlights Eun-Joo Ahn article

A new History Spotlight from the American Institute of Physics features historian Eun-Joo Ahn's research on the Mount Wilson Toll Road and the crucial, overlooked laborers who (literally) laid the groundwork for the amazing Mount Wilson Observatory discoveries to come. Ahn is a friend of Mount Wilson who has spoken at Talks & Telescopes and written for our Reflections newsletter. We’re thrilled to see her work highlighted.
