Autorenporträt

Bernard is a member of the Sherwood Observatory in the United Kingdom (home to the second largest telescope in the country, which is freely accessible for public viewing), where he regularly does public outreach activities related to planetary science. Writing a book on astronomy felt like the next logical step in raising awareness of the incredible solar system we inhabit. Bernard has a Bachelor's degree in Applied Science and has written articles related to world culture for international magazines. Originally from Belgium, he has also lived in the USA, the United Kingdom and Hong Kong.
