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.
