. Edwin Hubble up a tree with six young people from New Albany and Louisville. My own great-aunt and grandmother, Roe and Lydia Hale, are perched on the left, and my two great-uncles, Earl and Davis Hale, occupy the branch on the right. Earl Hale was one of Hubble's mathematics students at New Albany High School. The tree stood on Silver Hills outside the home of John N. Roberts, the father of photographer Jack Roberts and the two girls. Photograph by Jack Roberts. Comments by John R. Hale.
. The day after reaching Corydon, Edwin Hubble and Jack Roberts walked on west to Wyandotte Cave, where they explored the tight squeeze known as Worm Alley. Jack set his Brownie camera on a rocky ledge and scooted around in time to get his profile into the photo -- his only portrait with his hero Hubble. Photograph by Jack Roberts. Comments by John R. Hale.
. Edwin Hubble sitting outside the stone vault of Big Spring at the Corydon Fairgrounds in Harrison County, Indiana. Hubble had hiked over to Harrison County in a two-day excursion with photographer Jack Roberts, another one of his students at New Albany High School. Photograph by Jack Roberts. Comments by John R. Hale.
To entertain his young students, and perhaps in preparation for an evening of astronomical observations, Edwin Hubble brought a telescope up to Silver Hills one afternoon and set it up in the circular driveway of John Roberts' home at 1235 Main Street Hill Road. This photo was taken by Jack Roberts late in the day, with Hubble facing directly into the west. ... This is the earliest photograph in existence showing Hubble with a telescope. Photograph by Jack Roberts. ...
. A hiking party on top of Spickert Knob in Floyds Knobs, all armed with walking sticks. Edwin Hubble is between the two Roberts sisters, Roe and Lydia, with his student Earl Hale seated in front of him. Such hikes often included major picnics with campfires, kettles of hot coffee, and hearty nourishment for the intrepid walkers. Photograph by Jack Roberts. Comments by John R. Hale.
A rest stop during a springtime hike on the slopes of Silver Hills west of New Albany, Indiana, complete with dogwood blossoms and stylish hats. The Roberts and the Hale families, represented by Roe and Lydia Roberts, front left, and Davis and Earl Hale, upper right, were tea-drinking, excursion-loving anglophiles, and Edwin Hubble, recently returned from a Rhodes Scholarship year in Oxford, seems to have found their homes and their company most congenial. ...

A student observatory located on the roof of the Natural Science Building on Belknap Campus is used in the astronomy lab classes and by majors in the Department of Physics and Astronomy's B.S. Astrophysics track. ... The 14-inch Celestron Schmidt-Cassegrain seen here was installed in May 2010. ... In spite of a location in the midst of our bright urban heat island, this 14-inch diameter telescope provides quality visual images of the moon, planets, multiple stars, and bright nebulae. ...
The panorama from the roof of the Natural Science Building was recorded on February 21, 2000. The 8 photographs on which this is based were taken on Fuji 400 with a Nikon F4 camera and a 35 mm Nikor. The prints were scanned and then processed and stitched with GIMP and Panorama Tools. This is a spherical projection, corrected for perspective, but not corrected for lens abberations. ...
