 Lyman Reserve - The Trustees of Reservations
In addition to Red Brook, the Lyman Reserve features freshwater wetlands, forested uplands, a sandy beach, and a scenic stretch of coastal shoreline with views of Buttermilk Bay and the iconic Cape Cod Canal vertical lift railroad bridge.
For the next 30 years, Theodore Lyman III (1833-1897) worked to protect Red Brook by purchasing parcels of land on both its sides from source to mouth.
His legacy is preserved in the form of the 638-acre Red Brook Reserve, which is comprised of the 210-acre Lyman Reserve and the 428-acre Red Brook Wildlife Management Area (Massachusetts Division of Fisheries and Wildlife).

The ultraviolet light accompanying an electron jump from the n=2 to the n=1 orbit is called “Lyman Alpha” radiation, because it is the longest wavelength member of a series of photons (or spectroscopic “lines”) corresponding to jumps ending in the n=1 orbit.
The Lyman series was first discovered in 1906 by Harvard physicist Theodore Lyman (1874-1954), who was studying the ultraviolet spectrum of electrically excited hydrogen gas.
Lyman had to do his work using a vacuum chamber, because all of the light in the Lyman series is in the far-ultraviolet region and is strongly absorbed by air.

 Rydberg formula - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Although the Rydberg formula was later found to be imprecise for most spectral lines of atoms of higher atomic number than hydrogen, it was found to be quite precise for hydrogen, generating not only the Balmer series in the visible spectrum, but also other series of lines in the ultraviolet and infrared.
By 1906, Theodore Lyman had begun to analyze the hydrogen Lyman series of wavelengths in the ultraviolet spectrum named for him, that were already known to fit the Rydberg formula.
The Lyman series is in the ultraviolet while the Balmer series is in the visible and the Paschen, Brackett, Pfund, and Humphreys series are in the infrared.

 Print the story
As light from a distant galaxy is almost fully absorbed by hydrogen at 0.912 nm (due to the absorption lines of hydrogen, discovered by the physicist Theodore Lyman), the galaxy “disappears” in the far-ultraviolet filter.
For high-redshift galaxies, the Lyman discontinuity is redshifted so that it occurs at a longer wavelength and can be observed from the Earth.
As these galaxies are less distant than the samples observed up to now, they are also brighter and easier to study at all wavelengths thereby allowing a deep analysis from UV to infrared to be performed.

 Lyman series - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The transitions are named sequentially by Greek letters: from n = 2 to n = 1 is called Lyman-alpha, 3 to 1 is Lyman-beta, 4 to 1 is Lyman-gamma, etc. The series is named after its discoverer, Theodore Lyman.
The first line in the ultraviolet spectrum of the Lyman series was discovered in 1906 by Harvard physicist Theodore Lyman, who was studying the ultraviolet spectrum of electrically excited hydrogen gas.
In 1913, when Niels Bohr produced his Bohr model theory, the reason why hydrogen spectral lines fit Rydberg's formula was explained.
