I am pretty sure I remember being in the observatory at IWU for a science course with Randy who was patiently explaining to me that the telescope was aimed at Venus, not that because of the telescope the moon was “shiny like white satin” (my very scientific observation). SO happy he is still making great contributions to the scientific community… and that I can still find Venus because of him!
