Answer
Harlow Shapley was an American astronomer who made important contributions to astrophysics. His "liquid water belt" theory is one of his most well-known ideas. He proposed that there is a belt of liquid water around the sun, which would be located at about 93 million miles from the sun. This theory has since been disproven, but it was an important contribution to our understanding of the solar system.
