A brilliant video, a fine tribute to a remarkable life. Years, no decades!, ago I vaguely knew of Beatrice Tinsley's work, on the life of galaxies, but would not have been able to name her.
Then The Warehouse, who I worked for, rented some factory space in Beatrice Tinsley Cresent (Rosedale, Auckland) and I wondered who it was named for. Looked that up, made the connection and never forgotten.
Several years ago I saw a wonderful performance of the 'Bright Star' stage play in Auckland. It was brilliant and portrayed the personal/career challenges she faced.
I try and get to the annual 'Beatrice Tinsley Memorial Lectures' at Auckland Uni, most recent in May was Lisa Kaltenegger on exoplanet detection, always interesting.
Although I guess the reason for melanoma cannot be certain it struck me that she dedicated her life to stars, yet it is likely the emissions from our nearest took hers. What a life, and a loss.
