Astronomer Allan Sandage died Monday at the age of 84. He was most famous for work measuring the expansion rate of the universe (known as the Hubble constant H), especially arguing that H must be small to allow the universe to be older than the oldest observed stars. While the consensus measurement of H turned out to be larger, Sandage's concerns were validated by the discovery that H is actually increasing in the present era, allowing the universe to be older than the measurements might lead one to believe naively.
