"Laser observatory" - I think not. --MChew (talk) 03:58, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

Is this an article about Gilliss or Maury? While he should be mentioned I do believe that most historians consider Gilliss the founder of the Naval Observatory. And "When Maury resigned to serve his state, his home, kin and friends" should be read as the Confederacy shouldn't it? This reads like someone was a relative of Maury wrote it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.55.67.189 (talk) 03:55, 30 August 2010 (UTC)
