The astronomer was Subrahmanyan Chandrasekhar. One of Nasa’s four Great Observatories is named after him — Chandra X-ray.

It should be pointed out that almost no one took Eddington’s side in the dispute, they all either sat out of it or supported Chandrasekhar. And Chandrasekhar was friends with Eddington right up until he died and spoke at Eddington’s funeral.

I’ve never mocked anybody in my adult life. Am I doing things wrong?
