Sad news from the world of amateur astronomy: Ohio amateur astronomer Tammy Plotner, well known as an energetic observer and author, died on Wednesday after a long battle with multiple sclerosis.
She was the author of several books, including
Moonwalk with Your Eyes (Springer, 2010) and
The Night Sky Companion (Create Space, 2012).
