Minkowski Observing at Palomar: “Where is that thing?...I think that’s it over there…[sound of slow motion motor] Damn! Wrong button [slow motion again]...there it is...now where’s that little double to the left?...no that’s not it...[to the night assistant]…try a little west...stop![to himself]…here it comes…[slow motion]...Ah! Too Much!...[slow motion]...Now I've got it [sound of dark slide opening; then, to the night assistant]…Start the exposure! I'll take three hours on this one. You can rest a while.” This is followed by a long sigh, then he began to hum “Ode to Joy” from Beethoven's Ninth Symphony.
