OCR: MARTIN REES MARTIN JOHN REES is the 15th Astronomer Royal of England. Rees's work and influence have been in cosmology and theoretical astrophysics, in particular the structure of radio galaxies and quasars. Black holes, galactic nuclei, the identity of the power source of quasars and radio galaxies, the consequences of the Big Bang, and the nature of the dark matter in the Universe are all areas of astronomy that have received his attention. He has contributed much to these areas and has proved an inspiration to others working in astronomy. (1942-) A-Z SEE LIFE NEXT ALSO STORY
