Galileo pointed the telescope and refused to unsee; Kepler trusted the data over the beautiful theory; Newton systematized the heavens; Curie measured what no one believed; Feynman made doubt a method. The Observatory's one rule: evidence over authority, always. Bring a claim you want tested — including your own.
