A Titan of the Field
|
On the late Cambridge astronomer Donald Lynden-Bell — "As an academic at a time when students listened and lecturers lectured, he had the disconcerting habit of instead picking on a random undergraduate and testing them on the topic. One former student, now a professor, remembered how he would 'ask on-the-spot questions while announcing that his daughter would solve these problems at the breakfast table'. He got away with it because he was genuinely interested in the work of his colleagues and students, and came to be viewed with great affection by them. He also got away with it because he was well established as a titan of the field." — The London Times on Feb. 8, 2018, at 5 PM (British time) |

"After peering into the void from a perch
outside the visitor center, young Henry, 9,
said he liked the rugged landscape.
'It’s a good place to film a space movie,' he said.
Funny he should mention that —
the crater was the setting for the climactic scenes
of the 1984 sci-fi film 'Starman,' with Jeff Bridges
and Karen Allen arriving for a rendezvous with
an alien mother ship."
— Henry Fountain in The New York Times , Jan. 22, 2009
Lynden-Bell reportedly died at 82 on Feb. 5, 2018 (British time).
