Star Trek’s Lieutenant Commander Tuvok (Tim Russ) is an Avid Amateur Astronomer
Tim Russ, perhaps better known as Lieutenant Commander Tuvok, the Vulcan Head of Security on Star Trek: Voyager, was recently interviewed by Woodland Hills Camera & Telescopes about his passion for amateur astronomy. He owns several telescopes, as well as an Oberwerk Binocular Telescope, which he mentions at the 5:50 mark.
How cool! We have star parties here at Folsom Lake College at Placerville. It would be great fun at Griffith, for sure. Thanks very much for sharing this! Also, I had no idea that Tim Russ has done so much! Kudos for such excellent work, and the outreach to potential astronomers and hobbyists!
