Bye-by Star Hustler

Jack Horkheimer, better known as the Star Hustler,as his PBS astronomy series was known, died Aug. 20. If you click his name, it will lead to possibly his last broadcast dated July 5. You can tell his voice had changed, much more gravelly than in the past. He was executive director of the Miami Space Transit Planetarium for 35 years.

He started Star Hustler as a local Miami program in 1976, and in the early years expressed an interest in UFOs and did several shows on the topic. But he went national  in 1985, becoming the more reputable Star Gazer, and after that he was either mum or dismissive about the subject. But Horkheimer’s advice to everyone was ‘keep looking up.’
