	Princeton - News - Professor of Astronomy Lyman Spitzer Jr. Dies
		Princeton, N.J. -- Lyman Spitzer Jr., widely known for his contributions to the fields of theoretical astrophysics and plasma physics, died suddenly Monday evening at his home.
		First approved as Project Matterhorn, the Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory at the James Forrestal Campus became a world leader in the quest to copy the nuclear reactions occurring within the stars, in which far more energy is produced than consumed.
		In theoretical physics, Spitzer is credited with founding the discipline of "interstellar matter," which concerns the gas and dust between stars from which new stars form.
