This key, labelled “OHP,” goes to the Haute-Provence observatory in southern France. It was given to Didier Queloz during his time as a doctoral student by his supervisor, Michel Mayor, who was about to leave on an extended trip. Soon afterwards, Queloz made an interesting observation of a star’s movements. After additional observations of the star, Queloz and Mayor concluded that they had made the first discovery of a planet orbiting a star other than our sun.
Didier Queloz donated the key to the Nobel Prize Museum in 2019. - Pristagare
