摘要

Six of Dr.Tenn's students have also won a prize in the annual writing contest (two of them after graduating), and through them Dr. Tenn has further enhanced the content of the Griffith Observer. This article on Frank Schlesinger spotlights a significant astronomer who is not a household name, like Copernicus or Hubble or Sagan or de Grasse Tyson, but whose lifetime of work buttresses the entire astronomical enterprise. Here Dr. Tenn has expanded a talk that he presented in October, 2014, in the "Tours of Earth & Sky" lecture series presented by the city of Ukiah in association with the restored Ukiah Latitude Observatory, built and operated by Frank Schlesinger.
