About the author

Dr. David Whitehouse was a consultant to many space agencies and involved in several space missions. As a result of his media work, he was invited by the BBC to become its science correspondent in 1988; from 1998-2006 he was the network's first science editor working for BBC News Online. David has won many awards, including a Glaxo for newspaper science writing, a record five Netmedia awards, and the very first "Arthur" award (named after Arthur C. Clarke) for space journalism. He has written thousands of newspaper and magazine articles and two acclaimed books, and is a Fellow of the Royal Astronomical Society and past president of the Society for Popular Astronomy. The asteroid 4036 was renamed asteroid Whitehouse in recognition of his services to science and the media.
