Namesake of the Hubble Telescope, astronomer Edwin Hubble had a cat named after another astronomer, Nicolaus Copernicus. Nicolaus Copernicus would often sprawl across papers on Hubble's desk in his study, and when he did the astronomer would say, "he's helping me" and the cat would let out a low purr. Hubble and his wife so loved this cat they would refer to their own home as "Nicolas' Estate".
"The Universe is unfolding as it should." -Edwin Hubble
