“Keep Looking up”, the famous saying by astronomer Jack Horkheimer, the notorious “Star Hustler” has unfortunately died. The “Star Hustler” programme which when Googled, brought up some more than nefarious websites had to be changed in the later 90’s due to sensitivity with the word “hustler”. With his famous delivery and style, Mr. Horkheimer inspired us to be astronomers muck like our Canadian celeb astronomers Terence Dickinson and David Levy or your favourite sci-fi character. So join us in remembering Mr. Horkheimer and “Keep Looking up”…Thanks Jack, for your inspiration.
