About the author

British astronomer Sir Martin Ryle shared a Nobel Prize of 1974 for developing techniques that increased the resolution of radio telescopes.

Antony Hewish shared a Nobel Prize of 1974 with Sir Martin Ryle.

This Englishman revolutionized and used systems for accurate location and imaging of weak sources. In 1946, Ryle and Derek Vonberg first published interferometric measurements at wavelengths. With improved equipment, Ryle observed the most distant known galaxies in the universe at that time. He, the first such professor at the University of Cambridge, founded and directed the Mullard observatory. He served royal from 1972 to 1982. Ryle and Antony Hewish for physics won the first award in recognition of research. In the 1970s, Ryle considered more urgent social and political issues and turned the greater part of his attention.
