Ken Croswell

Ken Croswell is an astronomer and author living in Berkeley, California. He earned his Ph.D. in astronomy at Harvard University for studying the Milky Way's halo. During his research, he discovered a halo star located 90,000 light-years above the plane of the Galaxy. He went to college at Washington University, majoring in physics and minoring in English literature and mathematics.

Dr. Croswell is the author of seven books on astronomy: The Alchemy of the Heavens, Planet Quest, Magnificent Universe, See the Stars, The Universe at Midnight, Magnificent Mars, and Ten Worlds. He has also written for Astronomy, New Scientist, The New York Times, Sky and Telescope, Star Date, and other publications. In addition, he writes for two radio programs: Earth and Sky, and Star Date. For many years he has been the astronomy consultant for Highlights for Children. He does not write for magazines that carry tobacco advertisements--and remember, Altria means tobacco.

His books have been translated into Chinese, German, Polish, and even Serbian.
