Edwin Hubble sent a letter to Harlow Shapley #OTD in 1924, describing data that placed the Andromeda Nebula outside our Milky Way. It was a separate galaxy.
Shapley, who had long argued that “spiral nebula” were inside our galaxy, was meeting with Cecilia Payne-Gaposchkin when the letter arrived. He read it, then said to her “Here is the letter that destroyed my Universe.”
It's like I always say: If you are going to send someone a letter, make sure it's a letter that destroys their Universe.
