Meet the Author – Fred Watson – Star-Craving Mad from a travelling Astronomer
Australia’s best known astronomer, Fred Watson, takes us on a journey through time and space. Fred knows all about the madness that drives people to understand the Universe and unlock its secrets.
And just what are those secrets?
Where did we come from? How did our planet get to be the way it is? What will happen to it in the end? And, perhaps, the biggest question of all: are we alone , or are there other living organisms beyond the Earth?
Professor Fred Watson has been an Astronomer in charge of the Australian Astronomical Observatory since 1995. In addition to his academic career, Fred has helped to popularise astronomy and space science through broadcasts, talks and other outreach programs, winning the 2006 Australian Government Eureka Prize for Promoting Understanding of Science.
