Bob King

Thanks for stopping by! I've enjoyed the night sky and astronomy since childhood and love to share my passion through public observing, speaking and writing. I grew up in Illinois but have lived in Duluth, Minn. for many years.

I'm the photo editor at the Duluth News Tribune and specialize in capturing moments and stories about people, but when the sun goes down you'll often find me out at night photographing the northern lights or fireflies.

Besides my two books, "Night Sky with the Naked Eye" and "Wonders of the Night Sky You Must See Before You Die," I write a frequently updated astronomy blog called Astro Bob and teach community education astronomy at our local planetarium. I also write for Sky & Telescope and Universe Today.

May you always find inspiration in the stars!
