John Goodricke (pronounced “good-rick”), deaf due to childhood illness, in 1784 monitored Beta Lyrae which changed in the intensity of its brightness over the course of a few days. Goodricke eventually realized that he could predict the luminosity of the star and wondered if perhaps a planet was obstructing the star by orbiting it in regular cycles. As a child, Gerard Peter Kuiper (pronounced “je-rard kai-pur”) could see stars too distant and too faint for others to see without a telescope. Argu...
