The Search Engine Google is showing a Doodle for the 75th Birthday of Beatrice Tinsley, in few countries.
Beatrice Tinsley was a British born - New Zealand astronomer and cosmologist whose research made fundamental contributions to the astronomical understanding of how galaxies evolve with time.
Tinsley completed pioneering theoretical studies of how populations of stars age and affect the observable qualities of galaxies.
She also collaborated on basic research into models investigating whether the universe is closed or open. Her galaxy models led to the first approximation of what protogalaxies should look like.She died at the young age of 40.
