He made perhaps more basic contributions in various fields of astronomy than any of his contemporaries, Slipher is best known for his fundamental spectroscopic discoveries, especially of the rotations and atmospheres of planets. Slipher was born in Clinton County, Indiana, and graduated ...

Experimenting with fruit flies, Muller found that mutations (changes in the structure of the genes) can be X rays. Muller's work took on added significance after the introduction of nuclear weapons and the realization of the effects that nuclear explosions can have ...
