About the Author
Thomas Hockey received his undergraduate degree from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and earned a PhD as New Mexico State University's first-ever graduate in Astronomy and the History of Astronomy. He is the author or editor of ten books, including the award-winning Biographical Encyclopedia of Astronomers (Springer).
Hockey is a veteran of eight total solar eclipses. He lives between the past and future: His house is on the path of 1869's rare, transcontinental, total eclipse, and he looks forward to taking his students to the path of the similar solar eclipse of 2024.
