Knut Lundmark, Swedish astronomer, professor
at Lund observatory. Worked on the distance of the nebulae and the history
of astronomy. By using novae as distance indicators, he argued in 1919
that M31, the Andromeda nebula (as it was then called) in fact was a distant
stellar system, much like our own. He was very active in the popularization
of astronomy. Photograph taken c. 1937, showing Lundmark at the Lund observatory.
