I wish that I could watch the programs back in 1986 when he helped me find Comet Halley Mar. 31 of that year.

God bless you Mr. Horkheimer. Thank you.

I suspect this was actually filmed in a different year, so the dates given are a little contradictory. Just look at your calendar for the dates on which there is no Moon in the predawn sky. Sept. 8-20 look about right to me. New Moon is on the 8th; and by the 20th, the Moon sets more than two hours before sunrise.

Am I right?

RIP Jack. I hope they have enough episodes to continue to piece together a program once a week. I saw this program some 20 years ago. It would always come on very late at night for 5 minutes. After I saw it, I would always go outside and see if I could find anything. He will be greatly missed and hopefully they can continue his legacy by updating his website, and replaying the relevant episodes.

God, I keep tearing up, and I only managed to catch Mr. Horkheimer's show during my freshman year in high school in astronomy class. His enthusiasm just sucked me in. I can't believe he's gone.

RIP.

A nice guy and he will be missed. I remember the first time I saw him. I was tired, it was a hot night. I turned on the TV and his wonderful show and haunting music brightened my mood immediately.

RIP Jack. And we'll keep looking up.
