Paolo Maffei
Paolo Maffei (2 January 1926 – 1 March 2009) was an Italian astrophysicist and science writer.He was born in Arezzo and was director of the Catania Observatory and an astronomer at Arcetri, Bologna, Asiago and Hamburg. He studied comets, variable stars, galaxies and the evolution of the universe. An internationally renowned astronomer, he was one of the pioneers of infrared astronomy research. In 1968 he discovered through infrared analysis two galaxies, otherwise unobservable because their light emission in the visible frequencies is absorbed by the dust that fills the plane of the Milky Way. The two galaxies were named after him: Maffei-1 (a galaxy that, if directly observable, would become one of the most visible objects in the sky) and Maffei-2. The two galaxies are the main constituents of the group known as "Maffei's Group of galaxies 1".
Maffei also a historian of astronomy and popularizer of astronomy through a series of books, including ''Al di là della Luna'' (1973) and ''I mostri del cielo'' (1976).
