In 1935 he published his first astronomical works. These were critiques of studies made at the Mt Wilson observatories by Wilson and Hubble on the distribution of spiral nebulae.

There is no mention of any Wilson as co-author, either there or in any of the snippets in the first page of results (about 100, out of "about 482,000 results" from a Google search of wilson hubble spiral nebulae) or in the text of one of those hits, "Edwin P. Hubble and the transformation of cosmology. - Oregon State University" (Robert W. Smith, in Physics Today, April 1990, pp.50–58, published by the American Physics Society). This is clearly an error in transcription or translation, derived from the mention of the Mt. Wilson Observatory (not "observatories"). --Thnidu (talk) 02:28, 25 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
