Struve, Friedrich Georg Wilhelm von
Born: April 15, 1793, Altona, Schleswig-Holstein
[Died] November 23, 1864. St. Petersburg. A Russian astronomer born in Germany. He was the first of four generations of an astronomer family, sometimes called the "Struve dynasty." He fled Germany under Napoleon's occupation and enrolled in the University of Dorpat (Tartu, Estonia) (1808), and spent the rest of his time in Russia. He served as professor of astronomy and mathematics at Dorpat (1813), director of the university's observatory (1817), and director of the Pulkovo Observatory (1839). In 1824, using the largest reflecting telescope at the time, he observed and recorded about 120,000 stars, and recorded about 3,000 double stars (75% of which were new discoveries). His work can be said to have marked the beginning of modern research into double stars. He is also famous for measuring the parallax of Vega (the Weaver Girl). His main work is "Precise Observations of Double Stars" (Stellar duplicium mensurae micrometricae) (1837). In 2005, the Struve Geodetic Arc, a collection of observation points established between 1816 and 1855 in 34 locations in 10 countries from Norway to the Black Sea, was registered as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Born: August 12, 1897, Karlkov, Russian Empire
[Died] April 6, 1963. Berkeley, California, USA. American astronomer born in Russia. Great-grandson of Friedrich GW Struve. Studied astronomy at Karlkopf University, fled to Turkey during the Russian Revolution in 1920, and fled to the United States the following year in 1921, studying at the University of Chicago. Began research in astronomical spectroscopy as a researcher at the Yerkes Observatory. Served as director of the Yerkes Observatory (1932), director of the University of Texas' McDonald Observatory (1939), chair of astronomy at the University of Chicago (1947), director of the University of California's Leuschner Observatory (1950), director of the National Radio Astronomy Observatory in Green Bank (1959-62), and president of the International Astronomical Union (1952-55). He performed spectroscopic analysis of the light from stars, and from spectral absorption lines he revealed the existence of interstellar matter, including hydrogen, the existence and period of stellar rotation, and the existence of variable stars, playing a key role in the development of radio astronomy. He also proposed a theory of stellar evolution. He published over 700 papers, including his major works Stellar Evolution (1950) and The Universe (1962).

Born: October 11, 1805 in Munich
Died August 21, 1870. A radical democrat from Vienna, Germany. He became a lawyer in Baden, and published the Mannheimer Zeitung, a newspaper which he himself published, arguing for radical views, which often led to prison sentences. In September 1847, together with F. Hecker and others, he led the radical Offenburg meeting. After the March Revolution broke out, he rose up in Baden in April 1848 in an attempt to establish a republic, but was suppressed (the Hecker Putsch), and rose up again in September. He participated in the constitutional struggle the following year, but failed, and fled to the United States via Switzerland and England, where he served in the Civil War, returning to the United States in 1863. He is known for his work Allgemeine Weltgeschichte (Outlines of World History) (9 volumes, 1853-60).
