Vera Florence Cooper Rubin (/ ˈ r uː b ɪ n /; July 23, 1928 – December 25, 2016) was an American astronomer who pioneered work on galaxy rotation rates. [1] [2] She uncovered the discrepancy between the predicted and observed angular motion of galaxies by studying galactic rotation curves. These results were later confirmed over subsequent ...

Vera Cooper Rubin. Although her ideas on the nature of the universe were at first largely discounted, astronomer Vera Cooper Rubin (born 1928) has gained recognition for her research leading to the discovery of "dark matter."

1996年6月25日 · Vera C. Rubin has devoted her professional career to the study of motions of stars and gas in galaxies, and galaxies in the universe. Her earliest studies (1951) examined the motions of galaxies to see if they exhibited large scale systematic motions, in addition to the general expansion of the universe.
