Bio

Andrew Fraknoi retired as the Chair of Astronomy at Foothill College in 2017. Now he teaches introductory astronomy at the Fromm Institute at the University of San Francisco and the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute at San Francisco State. For 14 years, he served as the Executive Director of the Astronomical Society of the Pacific. He is the lead author of the most frequently used basic astronomy textbook in North America, Astronomy, published free online by the nonprofit OpenStax project at Rice University. He has also published two children’s books, several teaching manuals, and, recently, seven science fiction stories based on good astronomy. He appears regularly on local and national radio, explaining science developments. The International Astronomical Union has named Asteroid 4859 Asteroid Fraknoi to recognize his contributions to the public appreciation of science.
