B6 JACK HORKHEIMER, 72


Host of TV astronomy show looked to the heavens and found his future


by Emma Brown


Jack Horkheimer, a playwright turned amateur astronomer who inspired millions of people to look a little closer at the nighttime sky with his pioneering planetarium shows and long-running public television show, “Jack Horkheim- er: Star Gazer,” died Aug. 20 in Mi- ami of a respiratory ailment. He was 72. Mr. Horkheimer was perhaps most widely known as the ever- enthusiastic, slightly bug-eyed host of his television show, origi- nally called “Jack Horkheimer: Star Hustler,” which ran for more than 30 years and offered naked- eye astronomy lessons in digesti- ble doses. He was still writing and hosting the weekly five-minute segment at the time of his death; prere- corded episodes scheduled to run through Sept. 5 are available on his Web site. Using plain lan- guage, cheesy animation and a trippy-spacey synthesized sound- track, he deciphered constella- tions and explained everything from solar eclipses to the winter solstice. “Greetings, greetings, fellow stargazers,” was his signature in- troduction, delivered each week with caffeinated eagerness. Often pictured perched on the


cartoon rings of Saturn, Mr. Hork- heimer also recounted age-old myths about the celestial realm. The constellation known as Lepus the hare, he reminded viewers in a 1986 episode, has been seen in the West as a “heavenly rabbit, huddled and cringing in fear in the grass beneath the feet of Ori- on the Hunter.” Or, according to Chinese tradition, it is a rest stop in the sky — in Mr. Horkheimer’s terms, a “heavenly outhouse in the sweet bye and bye.” “If you’ve never heard this stuff


before,” he told Astronomy maga- zine in 2006, “it blows your little blue booties off because it’s fun, fun, fun.” Millions of people each week


watched the show, which aired on PBS and on the United States In- formation Agency’s Worldnet. Mr. Horkheimer also organized star- gazing parties and was a frequent commentator in the national me- dia on comets, eclipses and other astronomical events. He called himself a science dramatist, not an astronomer, and was clear that his interest in outer space lay not so much in science as in more sweeping existential questions. “Stargazing is all about where you are in time and space. The reason people get out their tele- scopes and attend star parties is because they are trying to peer out over the horizon to find their place in the universe,” he told the Miami Herald in a 1982 profile. “If I can help them find that, that’s all that matters.” Mr. Horkheimer served for 35 years as the director of the Space Transit Planetarium at the Miami Science Museum. He turned pres- entations there from academic lessons into whiz-bang shows that used music, metaphor and anima- tion to explore the night sky and inspire curiosity about the heav- ens.


Tinkering with lasers and state- of-the-art projectors, he created images of floating, three-dimen- sional planets and other special

effects. Among his award-win- ning presentations were “Child of the Universe,” starring talk show host Sally Jessy Raphael as the voice of the solar system. Mr. Horkheimer’s early multi- media shows captured the imagi- nation of young children and sci- ence-averse grown-ups alike, at- tracting wide audiences that helped make the planetarium a profit center for the Miami Sci- ence Museum. Planetarium direc- tors around the world began to imitate his style. “He changed the way that peo- ple thought about the use of plan- etaria,” said Gillian Thomas, the museum’s president and chief ex- ecutive. “Jack was the first person to imagine it was an immersive experience that could take you be- yond just what you see to look at the universe in a different way.” Jack Horkheimer was born Fo-


ley Arthur Horkheimer in Ran- dolph, Wis., on June 11, 1938. He had a congenital degenerative lung disease that went undiag- nosed until he was 18, leaving him with chronic pain and countless trips to the hospital. His father, a wealthy publisher who served as mayor of Ran- dolph, “wanted me to be an ath- lete and, because of my lungs, I could never hack it,” Mr. Hork- heimer told the Miami Herald in 1982. “I was always a failure in my father’s eyes.” Mr. Horkheimer went to a Jesu- it prep school, where he learned to play the organ, performing un- der the stage name “Horky.” He later took the name Jack Foley and, eventually, Jack Horkheimer. Through the years, Mr. Hork- heimer struggled with depres- sion, once spending five months in a mental hospital in Milwaukee and another time attempting to commit suicide by sitting out in the rain to catch pneumonia. He questioned his Catholic faith and eventually left the church. He dropped out of two colleges


before settling at Purdue Univer- sity in West Lafayette, Ind., where he studied drama and received a bachelor’s degree in 1963. His lungs had continued to de-


teriorate, and he moved to Miami in 1964 fully expecting, he said, to die. Instead, he met an astrono- mer who became a mentor and a father figure. It was because of that friendship that Mr. Hork- heimer visited the planetarium and had an epiphany. “I was in awe of the cosmos,” he told the Miami Herald in 1978. He needed a substitute for the reli- gion he’d lost, he said, and the stars provided it.

Bruce W. Neely, 62, a lawyer who had been at the Washington law firm Dewey and LeBoeuf since 1987, died Aug. 10 at Inova Alexandria Hospital of respirato- ry failure. He lived in Alexandria.

Love,Al & Jon SHAW He began working for the plan-


etarium in the 1960s and became director in 1973. He retired about two years ago. He was never mar- ried and had no immediate survi- vors. In the mid-1970s, the local PBS


affiliate approached him with an idea for a series of astronomy doc- umentaries. Mr. Horkheimer agreed on the condition that he also produce a weekly five-minute segment. The first episode aired in 1976. In early shows, Mr. Horkheimer was terribly professorial. When the show went national in 1985, the executive producer urged Mr. Horkheimer to lighten up and adopt a less-restrained character. Thus was born a more elated, more exaggerated version of Jack Horkheimer, Star Gazer, who end- ed each segment with an exhorta- tion to viewers to “keep looking up!”


“I hated that character for two years. I wouldn’t even watch my own TV show,” he said in 2006. “Now, I like him. I realize that he is a character, that it’s not me.” Professional astronomers often turned up their noses at Mr. Hork- heimer’s


flashy tactics. He


shrugged off such criticism. “A planetarium is not for scien-


tists. It’s not for the PhD’s,” he said. “It’s for the people.” browne@washpost.com
