dbo:abstract
  • Eric Mervyn Lindsay (* 26. Januar 1907 in Portadown, County Armagh, Nordirland; † 27. Juli 1974 in Armagh) war ein irischer Astronom. Lindsay war das Kind von Richard und Susan Lindsay und ging in Dublin zur King's Hospital School. Anschließend besuchte er die Queen’s University of Belfast, wo er im Jahre 1928 den B.Sc. und 1929 den M.Sc. erhielt. Später ging er zur Harvard University und erhielt dort 1934 den Ph.D. Später ging Lindsay nach Südafrika für weitere astronomische Studien und heiratete Sylvia Mussells aus Kapstadt. 1937 ging er zurück nach Irland und wurde bis zu seinem Tode durch einen Herzinfarkt Direktor des Armagh-Observatoriums. Lindsay wurde weniger durch seine wissenschaftlichen Ergebnisse bekannt, als vielmehr durch seinen politischen Einfluss für die Astronomie. Zum Beispiel überzeugte er die irische Regierung und das Harvard College Observatory, ein Teleskop am Boyden Observatory in Bloemfontein, Südafrika, zur Katalogisierung des Südhimmels zu gründen. Ferner spielte er bei der Gründung des Armagh-Planetariums eine wichtige Rolle. Lindsay und seine Frau Sylvia hatten einen Sohn, Derek Michael Lindsay (* 1944). Derek wurde Professor für Chemie in New York City. Der Mondkrater Lindsay wurde 1979 nach ihm benannt. (de)

He returned to Ireland in 1937 to become director of the Armagh Observatory. He remained the director of the observatory until his death of a sudden heart attack in 1974. He is more noted for his political influence in favour of astronomy than for important astronomical discoveries. For example, he was responsible for persuading the Irish government and Harvard University to found a telescope at Boyden Station in South Africa for the purpose of charting the southern skies. Dr. Lindsay was also instrumental in the founding of Armagh Planetarium. Lindsay and his wife Sylvia had one son, Derek Michael Lindsay, who was born in 1944. Derek became a professor of chemistry in New York City, and died six months before his Mother Sylvia in 1999. (en)
