I finally read Dennis Overbye’s obituary of John Huchra. I didn’t know him beyond seeing him at astronomy talks from time to time (when I actually show up). I love the Stick Figure in their large-scale galactic structure map, the CfA2 Great Wall which I’d forgotten about completely. You can see it at the bottom of the galaxy map above. Huchra’s Lens I was more familiar with.  Huchra did a bunch of his work at the 60 inch telescope at Mt. Hopkins where we’ve been testing out some of our laser hardware. When Overbye talks about running up and down the stairs at the telescope, I smile, having spent quite a few nights doing that myself.
