Ryle’s Last Testimony Sir Martin Ryle died on 14 October 1984. Ryle was best known as a radio astronomer - one of the first astronomers to win the Noble Prize for Physics - but the main activity of the last decade of his life was his campaign against nuclear weapons and the nuclear power industry. This letter was sent several months before Ryle died to Professor Carlos Chagas, president of the Pontifical Academy of Sciences. The letter expresses great despair at the way science is being misused, and can be read as the last testimony of a distinguished scientist. You will agree that Ryle’s last thoughts deal with some of the most crucial and fundamental issues of out time. 24 February 1983 Dear Professor Chagas, You ask a very difficult question in seeking topics, which should be discussed in considering the contribution, which scientists, may (should) make towards peace. I am afraid that I can only express my own views and hope that out of them some topics may emerge. I think one cannot separate science from the political/military/historical background, and perhaps, I should summarise my personal views here first. Inevitably I see through British eyes, but I think the view might have been similar if I had spent my life in any European country. Political: The USSR exists, the US exists; they must either learn to live together, or die together.

Sir Martin Ryle
born Sept. 27, 1918, Brighton, Sussex, Eng.
died Oct. 14, 1984, Cambridge, Cambridgeshire
British radio astronomer. After receiving a Ph.D. in physics from the University of Oxford, he helped design radar equipment during World War II. He was an early investigator of extraterrestrial radio signals. Ryle guided the Cambridge radio astronomy group in the production of radio source catalogs. The Third Cambridge Catalogue (1959) helped lead to the discovery of the first quasar . To map distant radio sources, he developed a technique called aperture synthesis, which provided tremendously increased resolving power for radio telescope s and was used to locate the first pulsar . In 1974 he and Antony Hewish shared a Nobel Prize.

Martin Ryle
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
(Redirected from Sir Martin Ryle Sir Martin Ryle September 27 October 14 ) was a British radio astronomer who developed revolutionary radio telescope systems (see e.g. aperture synthesis ) and used them for accurate location and imaging of weak radio sources. In Ryle and Vonberg were the first people to publish interferometric astronomical measurements at radio wavelengths, although it is claimed that Joseph Pawsey from the University of Sydney had actually made interferometric measurements earlier in the same year. With improved equipment, Ryle observed the most distant known galaxies in the universe at that time. He was the first Professor of Radio Astronomy at the University of Cambridge , and founding director of the Mullard Radio Astronomy Observatory . He was Astronomer Royal from to Ryle and Antony Hewish shared the Nobel Prize for Physics in , the first Nobel prize awarded in recognition of astronomical research.

Executive summary: Radio astronomer Ryle worked on radar and radio systems for the RAF during World War II, at the Telecommunications Research Establishment. After the war, he worked at Cambridge on stellar catalogues, helping to produce the Third Cambridge Catalogue (1959) this was the first catalogue to include a quasar. Most importantly, he invented a method, aperture synthesis , to measure weak radio sources using multiple radio telescopes whose position can be changed in relationship to each other. This had the effect of simulating a much larger telescope. For this he was the first astronomer awarded the Nobel Prize, in 1974. He also served as Astronomer Royal (1972–82), succeeding Sir Richard Woolley. Father: John A. Ryle (physician)

OCTOBER 14 - BIRTHS J. Craig Venter
(source)
Born 14 Oct 1946
American molecular geneticist who pioneered the use of automated gene sequencers. In 1990, he developed "expressed sequence tags" (ESTs), a new strategy for gene discovery and tagging that revolutionized the biological sciences. In 1995, Venter, in collaboration with Hamilton Smith, determined the DNA sequence of the entire genome (all the genetic material of an organism) of Hemophilus influenzae, a bacterium that causes earaches and meningitis in humans. The achievement marked the first time that the complete sequence of a free-living organism had been deciphered, and it was accomplished in less than a year. He founded the Institute for Genomic Research (TIGR). By 2000, his company Celera Genomics sequenced the human genome.

Born 14 Oct 1908; died 11 Dec 1987.
American electrical engineer, a pioneer in radio-thermics, who made major contributions to the development of radio and television broadcast antennas. In 1936, Brown invented the so-called turnstyle antenna for television broadcasting. Because of this, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) adopted a TV system of 441 lines. In 1938, Brown developed the vestigial sideband filter for use in television transmission, doubling the horizontal resolution of television pictures at any given bandwith. During WW II, with RCA’s researchers, George Brown’s group used radio-frequency heating in the bulk dehydration of penicillin at E.R. Squibb, a "sewing machine" for thermoplastics, and more consistent riveting and welding techniques.

Born 27 Sep 1920; died 17 Jan 1992.
American oceanographer and meteorologist who was an expert on physical oceanography, primarily in the interpretation of data associated with large scale ocean dynamics. He had a long standing interest in the Gulf Stream. He spent most of his career conducting research at the prestigious Oceanographic Institute in Woods Hole, Massachusetts. Considered one of the most influential oceanographers of his time, Stommel proposed many theories that were later proven to be correct by other scientists. He applied electromagnetic measurements to oceanic flows, the dynamics of estuaries and the related problem of hydraulic controls, and the interaction of nonlinear eddy-like phenomena (hetons).

Sir MARTIN RYLE (1918-1984)
    Nacque a Brighton (UK) e durante lo Secondo Guerra Mondiale si specializzò come tecnico di strumenti radar per lo difesa britannica. Fu grazie a questa sua esperienza che divenne un sicuro punto di riferimento per lo sviluppo della radioastronomia all'Università di Cambridge, dove insegnò fisica dal 1948 al 1959 e successivamente radioastronomia.
    Nel 1957 divenne direttore del Mullard Radio Astronomy Observatory; le sue ricerche iniziarono con l'emissione solare, ma il suo grande merito fu l'impegno nel portare avanti un censimento di tutte le radiosorgenti per classificarle; a tale scopo intraprese la costruzione di radiotelescopi di nuova concezione come i radiointerferometri, che consentirono alla radioastronomia di superare in risoluzione gli strumenti ottici, risoluzione successivamente migliorata dalla sua invenzione della "sintesi di apertura".
    Per i notevoli risultati conseguiti, vinse nel 1974 il Premio Nobel per la fisica , che condivise con Antony Hewish, un altro radioastronomo di Cambridge, diventato famoso grazie alla scoperta delle pulsar (in realtà scoperte da Jocelyn Bell

Fred Hoyle
Professor Sir Fred Hoyle, who has died aged 86, was Britain's best-known astronomer and (until Stephen Hawking's work became generally known) physicist, as well as a much-admired writer of science fiction; he was also an outrageous mischief-maker who took a delight in enraging his academic colleagues. He and his close associate, Prof Chandra Wickramasinghe, head of mathematics at University College, Wales, used to make other scientists so angry that some even wrote a special sub-program for their word processors which, by pressing a single key, caused the words "Contrary to the views of Hoyle and Wickramasinghe . . . " to appear on the screen. Still greater fury arose from their claim that Darwin's theory of evolution by natural selection was wrong, and that evolution occurred because mutating life forms continually fall from space. Nor, Hoyle thought, was this an accident. It was deliberately arranged long ago by a super-intelligent civilisation who wished to "seed" our planet. To establish this case, they made claims that outraged their critics still further. The accusation that caused the most anger was that Archaeopteryx, one of the most significant pieces of evidence for natural selection, was a fake.

Discovered the first four pulsars.
Using a radio telescope that she helped build as part of her Ph.D. dissertation, Bell (later Burnell) detected a rapid set of pulses occurring at regular intervals. She determined that the position of the unusual radio source remained fixed with respect to the stars, which meant that it was located beyond the solar system. During the course of the next few months, she discovered 3 more pulsating radio sources (or pulsars). These pulsars were later found to be rapi dly rotating neutron stars. Research at several wavelengths (gamma ray, very short radio, infrared, X-ray) and on many astrophysical topics. Main interest: the astrophysics of neutron stars.

Frequently Asked Questions
Voyager 2, is it planned to ever reach Pluto?
Did either of the Voyagers visit Pluto?
Why didn't the Voyagers fly by Pluto?
Both Voyagers flew beyond the orbit of Pluto/Neptune in 1989, but neither flew by Pluto, which was elsewhere in its orbit at the time. It was never planned that the Voyagers would visit Pluto. When we send spacecraft through the asteroid belt to the outer planets, how do we navigate the craft through the belt? Pioneers 10 and 11 had preceded the Voyagers to Jupiter and the asteroid belt was a major concern for them. By the 1960's more than 3000 minor planets had been discovered and their orbits well determined. Even 50,000 minor bodies spread over the volume of space occupied by the asteroid belt would produce little direct danger, although a chance collision with an uncatalogued object was possible. "While the largest of the asteroids were known and their orbits charted, many of the asteroids moved in unknown orbits. Although the risk of a spacecraft colliding with a charted asteroid was negligible, there was no way to estimate how many particles the size of a grain of sand might be present in the asteroid belt to collide with the spacecraft and seriously damage it". (From Pioneer, First to Jupiter, Saturn and Beyond, NASA SP-446, 1980) Only be going there could the danger be properly assessed - and Pioneer was first.
