Autor

Terence Dickinson, one of Canada's best-loved astronomy writers, gained renown for unraveling the mysteries of the cosmos. His down-to-earth style made him the award-winning best-selling author of 14 astronomy books, including NightWatch, The Backyard Astronomer's Guide, The Universe and Beyond and Hubble's Universe. Dickinson was a recipient of the Order of Canada and two honorary doctorates. He died of complications from Parkinson's on February 1, 2023. Susan Dickinson has been Terry's lifelong editorial partner and advisor. During the latter stages of Terry's illness, Susan oversaw the production of new editions of two of Terry's bestsellers, The Backyard Astronomer's Guide and NightWatch. After his death, she turned her focus on The Universe and Beyond (6th edition), a book that reflects Terry's appreciation of a universe that captivated him for a lifetime.
