DIED. Martin Ryle, 66, British astrophysicist who shared the 1974 Nobel Prize in physics for his development of radio astronomy techniques that extended mankind's reach 6 billion miles into the universe and led to the discovery of such intense, distant radio sources as pulsars and quasars; of pneumonia; in Cambridge, England. His major discovery, aperture synthesis, provided a method of focusing many small, separate radio antennas to fill in the gaps in broad-band radio waves, allowing astronomers to record tiny details, equivalent in terms of optical telescopes to reading a postage stamp on the moon...
