Lloyd S. Shapley, Professor Emeritus of the University of California at Los Angeles and son of distinguished 20th century astronomer Harlow Shapley, has won the 2012 Nobel Prize in Economics, sharing the prize with Alvin E. Roth of Harvard University.
While his father, Harlow Shapley, was best known for determining the correct position of the Sun within the Milky Way Galaxy, it is less well known that Harlow Shapley actively promoted amateur astronomy. Harlow Shapley also supported planetaria and science museums.
