2019 Physics Nobel awarded to 3 scientists for discoveries in cosmology

It was awarded with one half to James Peebles “for theoretical discoveries in physical cosmology” and the other half jointly to Michel Mayor and Didier Queloz “for the discovery of an exoplanet orbiting a solar-type star.”

The award was announced a day after two Americans and one British scientist were awarded the award for Physiology or Medicine.

The 2019 Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded Tuesday to three scientists for their contribution to the understanding of the evolution of the universe. The award was shared between the three with one half going to James Peebles “for theoretical discoveries in physical cosmology” and the other half jointly to Michel Mayor and Didier Queloz “for the discovery of an exoplanet orbiting a solar-type star.”
