Today (March 31, 1997) is the Memorial Day of the American theoretical physicist and astronomer Lyman Strong Spitzer.
Lyman Strong Spitzer was born on
June 26, 1914, into a Presbyterian family in Toledo, Ohio. His father was Lyman
Sutton, a superintendent. His mother was Blanchegeri, also known as Brambeck.
He is the cousin of innovator Eli Whitney by his paternal grandmother. He attended
Sukot High School in Toledo, Ohio. Then in 1929, he studied at Phillips Academy.
After that, he joined Yale College and graduated in 1935 with a degree in pi-
beta-kappa. He was then a member of the skeletal system with the skull. While
studying at Cambridge University for one year, he was greatly impressed by
Arthur Eddington and the young Subramanian Chandrasekhar. He then received his
Master of Arts degree from the University of the United States in 1935 and his
PhD in 1938.
The supplier was a department member
for a short time at Yale University when he was involved in the development of
sonar as a wartime scientific work. He was involved in the development of
space-operated telescopes in 1946. He developed an electronics called
Udukanangani. NASA's instrument is called the Spitzer Space Telescope. As a
scientist, he was involved in the study of galaxy formation and
electrophysiology. In 1947, Enrique Norris became director of astronomy with
Prince after the war. It was co-chaired by Martin Schwarzschild until 1970.
Spitzer and Donald Morton first
climbed the 1675-meter-high Thor Mountain in 1965 in Ayutthaya National Park on
Puffin Island, Nunavut District, Canada. Spitzer, a member of the American
Alpine Group, created the "Eleanor Supplier Mountain Advancement
Award". The award carries a $ 12,000 prize each year to the winners of the
trek. He was awarded the Carl Schwarzschild Medal, the Henry Trapper Medal, the
National Medal of Science and the Crawford Prize. He was buried in the cemetery
with the Prince.
