Biography

Nicholas Ulrich Mayall (May 9, 1906-January 5, 1993). Born in Moline, Illinois, Dr. Mayall grew up in Stockton, California. He earned his bachelor's degree and doctorate at the University of California at Berkeley. During World War II he did government research at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

Dr. Mayall worked on projects that helped develop scientific understanding of the origin, age, and size of the universe. He contributed to astronomical knowledge of nebulae, supernovae, spiral galaxy internal motions, and the reshifts of galaxies.

As a young astronomer at Mount Wilson Observatory, California, he exposed a single plate that recorded 48 bright-line stars, of which 27 were previously undiscovered. Previous to that, other researchers seeking to record bright-line stars often took photographs without success.

From Lick Observatory in California, he worked on a 20-year project with astronomers at Mount Wilson and Mount Palomar on the big-bang concept of the beginning of the universe. He was a co-author of a 1955 report on research concluding that the universe is 6 billion years old, three times the previous estimate, and three times bigger than previously thought. At Lick he also studied galaxy movement and did studies of Pluto.

The National Science Foundation appointed him to develop and head the Kitt Observatory in Arizona from 1960 until his retirement in 1971. He also worked at its affiliated Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory in Chile.

He died in Tucson, Arizona at the age of 86.
