Astronomy: The Hoyle story
John Maddox1
Abstract
The achievements of Fred Hoyle, one of the twentieth century's great innovators in astronomy, were celebrated at a recent meeting. In many respects, it emerged, Hoyle's thinking was ahead of his time.
In 1952, Fred Hoyle delivered the first of the BBC's annual Reith Lectures under the title "Frontiers in Astronomy". The five talks, delivered in consecutive weeks, electrified his audience and won Hoyle an instant reputation as a popularizer of science.
- John Maddox is Emeritus Editor of Nature.
