520    This Palgrave Pivot tells the transnational story of the 
       astronomical observatory in the hills near Santiago, Chile,
       built in the early twentieth century through the efforts 
       of astronomers from the Lick Observatory in California. 
       Venturing abroad to learn from largely unmapped Southern 
       skies and, hopefully, answer lingering questions about the
       structure of the galaxy, they planned a three-year 
       research expedition - but ended up staying for more than 
       twenty-five years. The history of the Mills Expedition 
       offers a window onto the history of astronomy, the 
       challenges of scientific collaboration across national 
       lines, and the political and cultural contexts of early-
       twentieth-century Chile and the United States.
