Important pioneer

Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago

Shapley discovered the "halo" of globular clusters orbiting the Milky Way early in the 20th century and made other important discoveries about ours and other galaxies. This book is an interesting introduction to this fascinating area of astronomy.Unfortunately, Shapley's scientific autobiography, "Through Rugged Ways to the Stars," is no longer available, which was worth reading. (Also, it was a fairly short as biographies go).
