Subrahmanyan Chandrasekhar was a renowned astrophysicist who made significant contributions to our understanding of stars and their evolution. He proposed the concept of the “Chandrasekhar limit”, which describes the maximum mass that a white dwarf star can have before it collapses under its own gravity and explodes in a supernova. This limit is approximately 1.4 times the mass of the sun and is a crucial factor in determining the fate of many stars in the universe. Chandrasekhar’s work earned him numerous awards, including the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1983, and his legacy continues to inspire future generations of scientists.
