Oh my, Jack Horkheimer the "Star Hustler" (later "Star Gazer") died.

I loved watching this guy on our local PBS station in the 1980s. His little shows would invariably mark the end of the broadcast day back then (just before God Bless America and static). A pretty good way to sign off for the day I thought.

He was 72 years old. I would never have guessed, but he had been the executive director of the Miami planetarium since 1973 and had started there back in 1965. The guy had literally been turning people onto astronomy for longer than I've been alive! What a career.

Here's Sky and Telescope's post about Horkheimer's passing.
