Astronomy Look-alikes, No. 45

At the Royal Astronomical Society on Friday, Prof. Mark Birkinshaw gave a talk about the life of Johannes Hevelius the 400th anniversary of whose birth lies this year. Anyway, he (Mark Birkinshaw, that is, not Johannes Hevelius) reminds me a bit of Graeme Garden of the Goodies, although I’m Sorry I Haven’t a Clue if anyone agrees with me.

    As a one-time Goodies fan, can I ask you to double check your picture captions; or are horn-rimmed glasses and Goodies badges back in fashion at the RAS?

    There’s always someone who doesn’t get the joke. 🙂
