FTP, name this Swiss astronomer, who provided the first evidence for dark matter and the possibility of gravitational lensing with his work on galaxy clusters.
Eccentric even by scientific standards, this early astrophysicist was known for calling fellow scientists at the Wilson observatory spherical bastards, since they were bastards any way he looked at them. His work with Baade produced the first theoretical descriptions of neutron stars before they were discovered, and he developed the classification of supernovae into type I and type II based their spectra. The discoverer of compact galaxies, he also determined that cosmic rays originate in supernovae.
