I just heard some sad news. Jack Horkheimer, the astronomy television celebrity who went by the nickname “Star Hustler,” passed away in his Florida home this morning. I’m afraid I don’t have many more details, but I did confirm the initial report.

Astronomy featured Horkheimer in its January 2006 issue. Read the PDF format of "America's stargazer" by clicking on the link.

Astronomy.com will have a full story when more details become available.
