Jack Horkheimer: Star Gazer (2009 season)

Jack Horkheimer: Star Gazer was a short-form astronomy television show hosted by Jack Horkheimer, focusing on naked-eye astronomy. The 2009 season marked the final year of Horkheimer's tenure as host before his death in August 2010. The show, typically less than five minutes in length, provided viewers with guidance on identifying constellations, planets, and other celestial objects visible in the night sky. Episodes often included tips for observing specific astronomical events, such as meteor showers or eclipses. The 2009 season maintained the program's signature upbeat and enthusiastic tone, characteristic of Horkheimer's passionate approach to astronomy education. Following Horkheimer's death, the show continued under the name "Star Gazers," with different hosts, but the 2009 season holds particular significance as the last featuring the original host and creator.
