Maarten Schmidt è stato un astronomo statunitense di origine olandese famoso per le sue ricerche sulla velocità di rotazione della nostra Galassia e sull'origine dello spostamento verso il rosso delle linee spettrali, che lo hanno portato nel 1963 alla scoperta delle radiosorgenti quasi stellari..
Maarten Schmidt (28 December 1929 – 17 September 2022) was a Dutch-born American astronomer who first measured the distances of quasars. He was the first astronomer to identify a quasar, and so was pictured on the March cover of Time magazine in 1966.
29 set 2022 · Maarten Schmidt, Francis L. Moseley Professor of Astronomy, Emeritus, at Caltech, passed away on Saturday, September 17, 2022. He was 92 years old. Schmidt is best known for his 1963 discovery of quasars—ferociously bright and faraway cosmic objects powered by supermassive black holes.
Maarten Schmidt was a Dutch-born American astronomer whose identification of the wavelengths of the radiation emitted by quasars (quasi-stellar objects) led to the theory that they may be among the most distant, as well as the oldest, objects ever observed.

24 set 2022 · Maarten Schmidt was a Dutch astronomer who discovered the first known quasar in 1963, revealing the existence of distant and powerful galaxies in the early universe. His discovery challenged the Steady State theory and supported the Big Bang theory, and also revealed the role of supermassive black holes in quasars.
