Extractions: Hewish was educated at the University of Cambridge and in 1946 joined the radio astronomy group there led by Sir Martin Ryle. While directing a research project at the Mullard Radioastronomy Observatory at Cambridge in 1967, Hewish recognized the significance of an observation made by a graduate assistant, Jocelyn Bell. He determined that the regularly patterned radio signals, or pulses, that Bell had detected were not caused by earthly interference or, as some speculated, by intelligent life forms trying to communicate with distant planets but rather were energy emissions from certain stars. For this work in identifying pulsars as a new class of stars, he was awarded jointly with Ryle the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1974, the first time the prize had been given for observational astronomy. Hewish was professor of radio astronomy at the Cavendish Laboratory, Cambridge, from 1971 to 1989.

Extractions: Radio astronomer, born in Fowey, Cornwall. He studied at Cambridge and spent his career there, becoming professor of radio astronomy (1971-89). In 1967 he began studies, using a radio telescope of novel design, on the scintillation ("twinkling") of quasars (a class of radio stars). This led him and his student Susan Joycelyn Bell Burnell to discover the first radio stars emitting radio signals in regular pulses; named as pulsars, many others have since been discovered. Hewish shared the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1974 with his former teacher, Sir Martin Ryle. Return to the biography index .

Nobel Prize in Physics Antony Hewish - Autobiography Sort and list Nobel Prizes and Nobel Laureates Create a List All Nobel Prizes Nobel Prize Awarded Organizations Women Nobel Laureates Nobel Laureates and Universities Prize category: Physics Chemistry Medicine Literature Peace Economics I was born in Fowey, Cornwall, on 11 May 1924, the youngest of three sons and my father was a banker. I grew up in Newquay, on the Atlantic coast and there developed a love of the sea and boats. I was educated at King's College, Taunton and went to the University of Cambridge in 1942. From 1943-46 I was engaged in war service at the Royal Aircraft Establishment, Farnborough and also at the Telecommunications Research Establishment, Malvern. I was involved with airborne radar-counter-measure devices and during this period I also worked with Martin Ryle. Returning to Cambridge in 1946 I graduated in 1948 and immediately joined Ryle's research team at the Cavendish Laboratory. I obtained my Ph.D. in 1952, became a Research Fellow at Gonville and Caius College where I had been an undergraduate, and in 1961 transferred to Churchill College as Director of Studies in Physics. I was University Lecturer during 1961-69, Reader during 1969-71 and Professor of Radio Astronomy from 1971 until my retirement in 1989. Following Ryle's illness in 1977 I assumed leadership of the Cambridge radio astronomy group and was head of the Mullard Radio Astronomy Observatory from 1982-88.

Extractions: The Space Shuttle Videos Hewish, Antony (1924-) is a British astronomer and astrophysicist, a scientist who studies the physical nature, origin, and development of the solar system, galaxies, and the universe. Hewish won the 1974 Nobel Prize in physics for his discovery of pulsars. He shared the prize with British astrophysicist Martin Ryle, who was recognized for his use of small radio telescopes to “see” into space with great accuracy. Their 1974 prize was the first Nobel Prize in physics to be awarded for astronomical observations. Hewish was born in Fowey, Cornwall, England. He attended King's College in Taunton, where he developed an early interest in physics. Hewish entered Cambridge University in 1942. Hewish's education was interrupted by World War II(1939–1945). From 1943 to 1946, he worked for the British government on anti-radar-detection devices for Allied aircraft.
