Everything about Carl Wilhelm Wirtz totally explained
Carl Wilhelm Wirtz (
24 August 1876,
Krefeld -
18 February 1939,
Hamburg) was an
astronomer who spent his time between
Germany and the
Observatory of Strasbourg.
He observed a systematic
redshift of
nebulae, which was difficult to interpret in terms of a
cosmological model in which the
Universe is filled more or less uniformly with
stars and
nebulae.
He used the equivalent in German of
K correction. The term continues to be used in present-day observational cosmology, but Wirtz's observational evidence that the
Universe is expanding isn't often mentioned.
It is unclear whether or not he was aware of the cosmological implications of his empirical result.
