HE'D ALREADY
HAD A STELLAR CAREER. But when University of
Washington astronomer Theodor Jacobsen retired in
1971, he kept working -- compiling a history of
ancient astronomical theory. Now, colleagues have
published the manuscript (UW Press, 1999) as a
tribute to their mentor. Jacobsen, who lives in
Seattle, says he's pleased the book will go to
archives around the world: "It's always satisfying
to have your work published." Especially at the age
of 98.
