Heinrich Wilhelm Mathias Olbers, German astronomer and physician, 1864. Olbers (1758-1840) was a founder member of the astronomers called the 'Celestial Police' who searched for a supposed missing planet. In 1826 he put forward Olbers' paradox, which stated that in an infinite, static universe, the night sky should be bright.
