Robert Victor has enjoyed sharing the beauty of the night sky through live sky-watching sessions, planetarium programs and writings throughout his professional life—and now through his retirement years. While a staff member at the Abrams Planetarium at Michigan State University, Victor originated the monthly “Sky Calendar” in 1968, and it’s still going strong after more than a half-century. Subscriptions and a sample issue are available at www.abramsplanetarium.org/skycalendar/.
