Robert Julius Trumpler (October 2, 1886 September 10, 1956, Berkeley, California) was a Swiss-American astronomer. He was born in Zürich, Switzerland, entered Universität Zürich but later transferred to University of Göttingen where he earned his Ph.D. in 1910. In 1915, during World War I he emigrated to the United States, and joined the University of California. He took a position at Allegheny Observatory, and later went to Lick Observatory. In 1921, he became a naturalized citizen of the United States. He was elected a member of the United States National Academy of Sciences in 1932. He is most noted for observing that the brightness of the more distant open clusters was lower than expected, and the stars appeared more red. This was explained by the interstellar dust scattered through the galaxy, resulting in the absorption (extinction) of light or interstellar extinction of light.
