24 dic 2016 · Slipher, Vesto Melvin. Henry L. Giclas died in 2007. BornNear Mulberry, Indiana, USA, 11 November 1875. DiedFlagstaff, Arizona, USA, 8 November 1969. American spectroscopist Vesto Slipher is now remembered primarily as the person who obtained the spectra and measured the first radial velocities of the spiral nebulae showing that most were ...
“V.M.” Slipher was born in Indiana and educated at Indiana University. His entire career was spent at the Lowell Observatory, where he started immediately after receiving his A.B. in 1901 and which he directed from 1916 to 1954. His visible and infrared spectroscopic studies of planets led to the determination of rotation periods— he made the first spectroscopic measurement of the ...

1 set 2021 · Slipher’s name doesn’t get regularly name-checked as one of the greatest scientists of all-time, but his contributions helped to establish our current view of the cosmos. Vesto Melvin Slipher. Courtesy of the National Academy of Sciences. Vesto Melvin Slipher was born on November 11, 1875 on the family farm in Mulberry, Indiana.
On September 17, 1912, Vesto Slipher obtained the first radial velocity of a "spiral nebula" - the Andromeda Galaxy. Using the 24-inch telescope at Lowell Observatory, he followed up with more Doppler shifts, and wrote a series of papers establishing that large velocities, usually in recession, are a general property of the spiral nebulae.
Vesto Melvin (V.M.) Slipher was a prominent astronomer who spent the entirety of his fifty-three year career at Lowell Observatory. Slipher was born on November 11, 1875, in Mulberry, Indiana, to Daniel Clark and Hannah App Slipher. He was one of eleven children (nine surviving) and spent his formative years on the family farm in Frankfort ...
