About Jerry Bonnell
Dr. Jerry Bonnell received a Ph.D. in astronomy from the University of Maryland at some point during the last century. He has since enjoyed working on a variety of astrophysical satellite projects at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center including the Cosmic Background Explorer, the International Ultraviolet Explorer, the Compton Gamma Ray Observatory, and the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope. While his research interests have wandered across the entire electromagnetic spectrum they have most recently focused on the time histories and spectral evolution of cosmic gamma-ray bursts.
Author of popular books, reviews, and magazine articles on astronomy and high-energy astrophysics, Dr. Bonnell is also a founding editor and author of the Astronomy Picture of the Day (APOD), begun in 1995. Dr. Bonnell lives with his wife (an art historian) in Greenbelt, MD, USA.
His presentation “Postcards from the Universe” will look back on favorite astronomy and night sky images featured on APOD during 2021.
