writer and populariser in the Netherlands. As a teenager, he started out as an amateur astronomer after seeing the planet Saturn through a three-inch telescope. Although Govert never lost his interest in astronomy, he did not pursue an academic career. Instead, he trained as a mechanical engineer and subsequently became a picture researcher for a Dutch encyclopedia publisher and editor-in-chief of the Dutch amateur astronomy monthly magazine Zenit.</p> <p>In 1982 Govert was hired as a scriptwriter and programme editor by the planetarium in Amsterdam. He also began to write newspaper and magazine stories about astronomy, and his first book was published in late 1985. In 1987 the planetarium moved to Artis (the Amsterdam zoo) and Govert continued to produce popular planetarium shows, including a children’s show based on Sesame Street characters, for which he received an Award of Excellency from Children’s Television Workshop.</p> <p>For many years Govert combined his part-time job for the Artis Planetarium with his freelance work for newspapers, magazines, radio and television. In 1998 he became a full-time freelancer. He writes about astronomy and space science for the Dutch daily national newspaper de Volkskrant, for a number of other Dutch weekly and monthly magazines, forNew Scientist and BBC Sky at Night in the United Kingdom, and for Sky & Telescope (for which he is a contributing editor),Science and Scientific American.</p> <p>Govert has written over fifty books on various astronomical topics, from children’s books and simple sky guides to topical books about new developments in astronomy. Some of his books have been translated into German and English, including Flash! The Hunt for the Biggest Explosions in the Universe, Evolving Cosmos, The Hunt for Planet X, and Atlas of Astronomical Discoveries.</p> <p>He is also the owner and editor of the popular Dutch astronomy portal site <a class="glink" href="https://web.archive.org/web/20220708051220/http://www.allesoversterrenkunde.nl/" target="_blank">www.allesoversterrenkunde.nl</a>. In 2002 he received the prestigious Dutch Eureka Prize for his contribution to the popularisation of science and technology.</p> <p>Asteroid 10986 was named Govert by the International Astronomical Union in 2007.</p> <hr/> <h3>Lars Lindberg Christensen<img src="/web/20220708051220im_/https://eso.org/public/archives/static/outreach/50years/europetothestars/bios/images/lars_lindberg_christensen.jpeg" alt="" align="right"/></h3> <p><a class="glink" href="https://web.archive.org/web/20220708051220/http://www.eso.org/%7Elchriste/">Lars</a> is a science communication specialist heading the ESO education and Public Outreach Department (ePOD) in Munich, Germany.
