Open Quo Fuit to see these 7 presences on the
globe, filter them by date, and follow the journey year by year.
In each of these, a source puts Edwin Hubble and the place in the same dated sentence without stating
that Edwin Hubble was there. They are kept apart from the timeline above for exactly that reason:
a mention is not a presence, and Quo Fuit does not quietly promote one into the other.
1919year
Pasadena, Californiamentioned“In 1919, Hubble was offered a staff position at the Carnegie Institution for Science's Mount Wilson Observatory, near Pasadena, California, by George Ellery Hale, the founder and director of the observatory.”source: Wikipedia: Edwin Hubble
July 1949month
Coloradomentioned“Hubble had a heart attack in July 1949 while on vacation in Colorado.”source: Wikipedia: Edwin Hubble
Two people documented in the same place in the same year is a correlation, not a meeting.
Quo Fuit will never say they met without a source that says so.
How to read this page
Every line above is a dated fact taken from a source, with the sentence it came from and a link
back to it. Nothing is inferred, and a gap in the record is not evidence that someone was elsewhere.
A tag says how the fact is carried by its source: documented a structured,
explicitly dated record, attested a sentence that states the person was there,
mentioned a sentence that ties the person to the place without stating presence.

See Edwin Hubble on a 3D globe, filter the record by date, and cross this life with another to find
where the two overlap.
