Pasachoff (1943-2022) was the Field Memorial Professor of Astronomy and director of the Hopkins Observatory at Williams College, Williamstown, Massachusetts, and coauthor of The Sun, also published by Reaktion Books. Olson and Pasachoff worked jointly on the intersection of art and astronomy since the 1985-1986 passage of Halley's Comet brought them together.
