Allan Sandage sent Rubin an application to compete for telescope time at Palomar, editing the form's warning, "Due to limited facilities, it is not possible to accept applications from women," to include "usually." She became the first woman to legally observe there.
These Elements in the Periodic Tables at the Quantum Level mirror 2 Galaxy Periodic Tables that upgraded Edwin Hubble's Fork Tuning Galaxies classifications which was expanded by Gerard de Vaucouleurs and
Allan Sandage. The Periodicity of both Elements of the Periodic Tables at the Quantum World and Galaxy Periodic Tables at the Cosmos Level are governed by the same laws since one mirrors the other and vice versa," says Ainuu Afamasaga.
In the 1970s, David Malin also found cirrus on images taken with the 1.2-meter UK Schmidt Telescope at Siding Spring Observatory, Australia, and

A year later
Allan Sandage measured a redshift of z = 0.05, corresponding to a distance of nearly 700 million light-years.
After I consulted several radio and optical astronomers in the US, Britain, and Australia, one of them realized that I had come across a portion of an extensive but little-known high-galactic-latitude dust complex that
Allan Sandage (Carnegie Observatories) had written a paper about in the Astronomical Journal in 1976.
