More About the Author

I love sharing science with young readers, and I use my books and website to do that. I also visit schools whenever I can. Sometimes I give a talk called "Our Next Planet," and invite my audience to travel with me to other worlds. I'm also developing a talk called "The Truth About Space Aliens." It's based on my new book about the "Cool Science" of Astrobiology.

My website, "Dr. Fred's Place," has sections called "Ask Dr. Fred," where you can discover some of my favorite questions. It also has pages about all my books, with updates and links for several of them. I have a special section about "Beyond Jupiter: The Story of Planetary Astronomer Heidi Hammel." That section includes the story of my trip to a major telescope on Hawaii's highest mountain with Heidi. It also includes her frequently asked questions about astronomy.

After you visit "Dr. Fred's Place," you will understand why I say that science is not about answers but rather about questions and the way we follow them to discoveries. Discover my books, follow your questions, and share in wonderful adventures.
