Description

From the open star catalog by Ivan R King, who passed away in 2021. Reading his obituary, he had a rather long list of impressive credentials:

"He enrolled in the Hamilton College (NY) at the age of 16, graduating with high honors at the age of 19 with a BA degree in Physics, Mathematics, and German. He then entered the Astrophysics graduate program at Harvard University, working under the supervision of the famous astronomers Harlow Shapley and Bart Bok, receiving his PhD in 1952."
