Subrahmanyan Chandrasekhar
An Indian-American astrophysicist, he is best known for his work on the mathematical theory of stellar structure. He discovered the 'Chandrasekhar limit,' which determines the maximum mass a white dwarf star can have before collapsing. His profound contributions to the study of black holes earned him the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1983.
