Abstract
- The article in Sky & Telescope titled "Bart and Priscilla Bok: A Galactic Love Story" explores the personal and professional connection between astronomers Bart and Priscilla Bok. The couple made significant contributions to understanding the Milky Way's origin, evolution, and composition, following in the footsteps of earlier astronomers. Their work led to the discovery of Bok globules and the establishment of advanced astronomical facilities in Australia and the United States. The article also highlights Bart Bok's continued passion for astronomy until his passing in 1983. [Extracted from the article]
