Bernard Henin fell in love with astronomy when, as a teenager reading National Geographic, he came across images of Neptune taken from NASA's spacecraft Voyager 2. He was mesmerised by the giant blue planet, and found it both exhilarating and liberating to think that entire new worlds could be explored. Since then, he has followed humanity's continued exploration of our solar system closely. Bernard enjoys sharing his passion for planetary science and space exploration with like-minded amateurs, through public presentations and talks. He is a member of the Sherwood Observatory in the United Kingdom (home to the second largest telescope in the country that is freely accessible for public viewing) and has carried out public outreach activities in the United Kingdom and in Hong Kong. Originally from Belgium, Bernard has also lived in the USA, the United Kingdom, and Hong Kong. His first book with Springer is titled Exploring the Ocean Worlds of our Solar System (2018). See less
