Between 1930 and 1936, UW astronomers developed a new astronomical technique that led to a major re-evaluation of the size of our Milky Way Galaxy. Beginning with the astronomical debates of the 1920s, this talk will show how their work established key features that underpin the modern concept of a galaxy.
