	Beatrice Tinsley - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Beatrice Muriel Hill Tinsley (January 27, 1941 - March 23, 1981) was an astronomer and cosmologist whose research made fundamental contributions to our understanding of how galaxies evolve with time.
		Tinsley's career was cut short when she died of skin cancer in 1981.
		In 1986 the American Astronomical Society established the Beatrice M. Tinsley Prize for outstanding creative contributions to astronomy or astrophysics.

		Tinsley's research on how galaxies change and evolve over time changed the standard method for determining distances to far galaxies which, in turn, was significant in determining the size of the universe and its rate of expansion.
		Factors such as the abundances of chemical elements, the mass of the galaxy and the rate of starbirth were all important parameters in determining the distance and age of the galaxy and, by inference, the size and age of the universe.
		Beatrice Hill was born in 1941 in Chester, northwest England, the second daughter of an Anglican minister father and writer mother.

		Davis won the 2002 Nobel Prize in Physics for detecting solar neutrinos, ghostlike particles produced in the nuclear reactions that power the sun.
		He shared the prize with Masatoshi Koshiba of Japan, and Riccardo Giacconi of the U.S. “Neutrinos are fascinating particles, so tiny and fast that they can pass straight through everything, even the earth itself, without even slowing down,” said Davis at the time of his Nobel award.
		Davis earned a B.S. and an M.S. from the University of Maryland in 1937 and 1940, respectively, and a Ph.D. in physical chemistry from Yale University in 1942.
