Upon his honorable discharge, he was offered a significant research position by George Ellery Hale at the Mount Wilson Observatory in California.

Linked via "optical telescopes"
Sidereal time is essential for telescope operation. When an observer wishes to view a specific object$) identified by its Right Ascension ($\text{RA}$)-/), they must know the current $\text{LST}$. If the $\text{LST}$ matches the object's $\text{RA}$, the object is transiting.
Furthermore, in systems that employ time-dependent control algorithms, such as high-end interferometers or [adaptive optics arra…
