Happy Birthday, James! Just like the Hubble telescope you helped design, you're clearly improving with age. You've guided us through cosmic wonders and astronomical secrets—but let's be honest, managing astronomers at Caltech's Palomar Observatory might've been your toughest mission yet!From charting galaxies to leading observatories, your stellar contributions keep shining brighter than a supernova. Here's wishing you another year filled with discovery, laughter (and occasionally reminding everyone who really had an eye for the stars first). Keep boldly going—because we all know gravity can't hold back brilliance like yours. May your celebrations today be astronomically fun!
