Shantanu Basu (b. 1964) is an American astrophysicist on the faculty of Western University in London, Ontario. He has performed numerical studies of star formation that have elucidated the effect of magnetic fields on cloud core and disk formation, and he was one of the originators of the Migrating Embryo model of circumstellar disk evolution.
In March of this year, Rudolph Dorner, the founder of the Dorner Telescope Museum (DTM), passed away. It was Rudolph’s generosity of spirit, generosity of conception, and generosity of pocket which is bringing forth the museum. He had a long-standing fascination with the optical devices which reveal something of the universe to us, and that interest was far from an armchair one. He also had great respect for the combination of ingenious minds, discriminating eyes, and skilled hands which crafted those instruments.
