Biographical Encyclopedia of Astronomers
Biographical Encyclopedia of Astronomers[electronic resource] /edited by Philip David Nicholson, Jennifer Lynn Bartlett. - online resource.

The Biographical Encyclopedia of Astronomers is a unique and valuable resource for historians and astronomers alike. It includes approximately 2300 biographical sketches of astronomers from antiquity to modern times. Led by an editorial board of historians and astronomers, this is the collective work of over 400 authors. It provides biographical information on astronomers and planetary scientists, utilizing contemporary historical scholarship. The revised third edition adds approximately 450 new biographical sketches to this comprehensive reference work. It brings existing entries fully up to date and expands on gaps in 19th century coverage. Additionally, it now extends its scope from individuals born prior to 1920 to those born before roughly 1950. The editors have carefully navigated the burgeoning, interdisciplinary subfields of 20th century astronomy to curate dozens of new entries on individuals who contributed directly to astronomy and planetary science during that period. Individual entries vary from 100 to 1500 words, including luminaries such as Aristarchus, Claudius Ptolemy, Sir Isaac Newton and Albert Einstein, as well as lesser-known astronomers like Galileo's acolyte, Mario Guiducci.
