Carsten och W-bloggens ansvarige redakt\u00f6r har kamperat ihop sen realskolan, som skolformen hette den g\u00e5ngen innan man kr\u00e5nglade in sig p\u00e5 gymnasiet. Vi var b\u00e4gge intresserade av astronomi, kanske jag mest, men Carsten blev tidigt en viktig kugge i MARS (Malm\u00f6 Astronomi och Rymdfartss\u00e4llskap), Malm\u00f6ungdomarnas egen astronomif\u00f6rening som lockade medlemmar fr\u00e5n alla skolor. MARS blev en framg\u00e5ngsrik f\u00f6rening, som fostrade flera kommande yrkesastronomer, partikelfysiker m fl. M\u00e5nga f\u00f6rblev glada amat\u00f6rer som Carsten och sidotecknad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Minnesrikast \u00e4r v\u00e4l en Englandsresa runt 1960 som tog oss till Patrick Moore, Jodrell Bank, Cambridges radioastronom Martin Ryle (kommande nobelpristagare), Herstmonceux, hembes\u00f6k hos British Astronomical Associations variabelchef m fl “h\u00f6kkvarter”. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Carsten delade pipintresset med Patrick Moore…<\/p>\n\n\n

… och senaste \u00e5r har det blivit f\u00f6rfattarskap – ny bok \u00e4r p\u00e5 g\u00e5ng:<\/p>\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

Livsresan kom yrkesm\u00e4ssigt att handla om journalistik och journalistutbildning, ingen ovanlig v\u00e4g f\u00f6r oss gamla “johanniter” i Malm\u00f6. Men k\u00e4rleken till stj\u00e4rnorna \u00e4r och f\u00f6rblir konstanten:<\/p>\n\n\n

Grattis Old Boy! V\u00e4lkommen i klubben.<\/p>\n\n\n
