About the Authors

Mike Seeds has been a Professor of Physics and Astronomy at Franklin and

Marshall College in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, since 1970. In 1989 he received

F&M College’s Lindback Award for Distinguished Teaching. Mike’s love for the

history of astronomy led him to create upper-level courses on

“Archaeoastronomy” and “Changing Concepts of the Universe.” His research

interests focus on variable stars and the automation of astronomical tele-

scopes. Mike is coauthor with Dana Backman of Horizons: Exploring the

Universe , Eleventh Edition (2009), Astronomy: The Solar System and Beyond,

Sixth Edition (2009), and Perspectives on Astronomy (2008), all published by

Cengage. He was Senior Consultant for creation of the 20-episode telecourse

accompanying the book Horizons, Exploring the Universe.

Dana Backman taught in the physics and astronomy department at Franklin

and Marshall College in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, from 1991 until 2003. He

invented and taught a course titled “Life in the Universe” in F&M’s interdisci-

plinary Foundations program. Dana now teaches introductory astronomy,

astrobiology, and cosmology courses in Stanford University’s Continuing

Studies Program. His research interests focus on infrared observations of

planet formation, models of debris disks around nearby stars, and evolution of

the solar system’s Kuiper belt. Dana is employed by the SETI Institute of

Mountain View, California as Director of Outreach for the SOFIA (Stratospheric

Observatory for Infrared Astronomy) mission at NASA Ames Research Center. He

is coauthor with Mike Seeds of Horizons: Exploring the Universe , Eleventh

Edition (2009), Astronomy: The Solar System and Beyond , Sixth Edition (2009),

and Perspectives on Astronomy (2008), all published by Cengage.
