Favorite Period: 1960s

About Me: Retired Professor of Astronomy; proudest of (1) working on the Apollo Project, (2) being the first to note that pairs of large craters on Earth, Moon, etc suggested that asteroids have moons, before this was confirmed by observation.  Authored two books on computers, and more articles on planetariums and astronomy education than I can remember or count.  Editor for 90 editions of a planetarium newsletter, "Bauersfeld's Folly", hosted 1980 SFRA convention. I wrote and have often delivered a planetarium show for the deaf about John Goodricke, the 18th Century deaf astronomer who was the first to explain Algol as an eclipsing binary.
