Astronomer. Sidney Charles Bartholomew (Ben) Gascoigne was born in New Zealand in 1915 and graduated as a PhD. from the University of Bristol in 1941. In August 1941 Gascoigne moved to Australia to contribute to the optical munitions work being undertaken at the Commonwealth Solar Observatory. After the War, he played a significant role in the development of Mt Stromlo Observatory and in the training of astronomers at the Australian National University where he was Professor in Astronomy, 1964-1980.
