1918-1984. English radioastronomer. At the
Mullard Radio Astronomy Observatory,
Cambridge, he developed the technique of
sky-mapping using `aperture synthesis',
combining smaller dish aerials to give the
characteristics of one large one. His work on
the distribution of radio sources in the
universe brought confirmation of the Big Bang
theory. He won, with Antony Hewish, the Nobel
Prize for Physics 1974.
