ABOUT THE AUTHORS

FRED HOYLE is, in the minds of many of his colleagues, the world's leading astrophysicist. He is
presently Plumian Professor of Astronomy at Cambridge
University and Director of the now famous Institute for Theoretical Astronomy, which he founded at
Cambridge. He is a Fellow of the Royal Society and sits on its council. He is also a member of the
British government's Science Research Council. Among the honors accorded him in the United States
was his election to the National Academy of Science. For years he has been active at the California
Institute of Technology and the Mount Wilson and Palomar Observatories.

GEOFFREY HOYLE graduated from Bryanston School in Dorset, then entered Cambridge as an
economics major. The literary and dramatic life, however, drew him away, and since 1964 he has
occupied himself professionally in documentary film making as a television story consultant and writer.

ROCKETS IN URSA MAJOR is the second book he has written with his father.
