Fred L. Whipple, RIP
He passed away this morning at age 97. I listened to an incredible list of
accomplishments told to me this afternoon by the public information officer at Whipple Observatory in here southern Arizona.

" He passed away this morning at age 97. I listened to an incredible list of accomplishments told to me this afternoon by the public information officer at Whipple Observatory in here southern Arizona. The astronomy community has suffered a tremendous loss. The guy was 97! I think the community lost him decades ago. Like rompin Ronny who actually left the building 10 years ago. |

I met him only a couple of years ago, at the launch of the ill-fated Contour mission- a project he was actively involved in. He was productive to the end. _________________________________________________ Chris L Peterson Cloudbait Observatory http://www.cloudbait.com |
