The Mount Wilson Observatory was founded in 1904. Its 100 inch Hooker telescope was completed in 1917, and was the world's largest telescope until 1949. It is one of the most famous telescopes in observational astronomy of the 20th century. The telescope was the critical tool in the discovery that not only does the universe extend far past the reaches of the Milky Way Galaxy, but that it is ever expanding. These two discoveries fundamentally changed our scientific view of the universe.


George Ellery Hale, who founded the observatory, as well as CalTech and The Astrophysical Journal, played a pioneering role in advancing Astrophysics, or what was then known as "New Astronomy". His legacy is so multifaceted that it is virtually impossible to list all of his accomplishments.

About the artist
The Founder of TRVRS Apparel, Ricardo "Aar Jay" Soria cites his inspiration as 'family, friends, fitness, art, and growth'. After drawing for most of his life, Ricardo momentarily replaced the paper and pencil with a topo map and trail runners. He has since explored large sections of the Angeles National Forest and Southern California's surrounding wilderness while dabbling in long distance running and more recently, mountaineering. The TRVRS Apparel collection is a direct reflection of his love for the wilderness and the personal growth that is found while exploring its depths.
