Extradimensional Explorer
Vera Rubin, one of the first scientists to find convincing evidence for dark matter (by measuring the rotation of galaxies), passed away today at age 88. She was awarded the US National Medal of Science in 1993 and had been considered an extremely strong candidate for the Nobel Prize for many years. In fact, I've yet to hear a good reason that she didn't receive a Nobel long ago.
