About "Astro Bob"
Bob King fell in love with the night sky and astronomy when he was a kid and loves to share his passion with people of all ages. Bob was a photographer and photo editor at the Duluth News Tribune for 39 years before retiring in 2018, and also taught at the UMD planetarium for many years. His books "Night Sky with the Naked Eye" and "Wonders of the Night Sky You Must See Before You Die" describe the joys of skywatching. Bob's latest book, "Urban Legends of Space," examines science vs. pseudoscience in astronomy.
