Synopsis

Star Gazers is a five-minute astronomy show on American public television previously hosted by Jack Foley Horkheimer, executive director of the Miami Space Transit Planetarium. After his death in 2010 from a respiratory illness from which he'd suffered since childhood, a series of guest astronomers hosted until 2011, when Dean Regas, James Albury and Marlene Hidalgo became permanent co-hosts. On the weekly program, the host informs the viewer of significant astronomical events for the upcoming week, including key constellations, stars and planets, lunar eclipses and conjunctions, as well as historical and scientific information about these events. The program is available free to all Public Broadcasting Service public television stations, educational institutions and astronomy clubs. A month of episodes can be recorded from a satellite feed which occurs approximately two weeks before the official broadcast dates.

brian_m_hass "Star Gazers" (formerly "Jack Horkheimer: Star Hustler" and then "Jack Horkheimer: Star Gazer") is an informative five-minute-long weekly television program about astronomy. It broadcasts on most public television stations in the United States. Episodes can also be viewed via the Internet. The program is unique in that it provides weekly overviews of celestial events taking place in the night sky. It is suitable for both children and adults. Both novices and experienced amateur astronomers will enjoy the program. Additional information can also be found on the program's two websites. The older "Jack Horkheimer: Star Gazer" website contains links to video pod-casts as well as full color "Star Gazing with Jack Horkheimer" comics. The television program and its two websites are highly recommended!
Filburt222 Well, not really, but I do enjoy watching it."Jack Horkheimer's Star Gazer" (nee "Star Hustler", a much better name) is a 5-minute show that usually airs at 1:00, after "The Red Green Show" on NHPTV and "Saturday Night Live." JHSG stars, obviously, Jack Horkheimer, who talks about the astronomical events coming up in the next week. It's a truly addicting show, and the quirks of Horkheimer are...at least hilarious at 1:00 AM. Despite living in the city and having few opportunities to "keep looking up," I watch it faithfully every week, waiting for it to catch on. It's the same thing I did with such shows as "Stargate SG-1" and "Duckman" (which I gave up on). Anyway, it apparently did catch on... and went out of fashion decades ago. I should have guessed because of the fact it has the same font it had when people were dancing to the Doobie Brothers. I have yet to find any fans of it, though. It's website claims to have a cult following the likes of Star Trek, but I disagree. Maybe I haven't looked hard enough, but if there is a fan site of the obscure German short film 'A', then it doesn't exist. In conclusion, Jack, I probably won't "keep looking up," but I will keep watching your show, which is all that matters. (kidding)
Anchor69 This is the coolest end to your day. Jack flies around on a "star stream" of sorts. Just his excitement about astronomy makes it worthwhile to watch. He also provides very detailed information about the subject matter. I really think that he should be put in a movie or television show.
yortsnave Each episode of this series is only a few minutes long, with astronomer/host Jack Horkheimer describing in an entertaining and light-hearted way what's currently going on in the sky for that week.I recommend the series for the scientifically-curious of all ages, but especially for the youngsters. My only quibble is that the show is hard to find--the only time I've seen it is just before sign-off, well after midnight, on a public TV station.
