Info

Star Gazers is a five-minute astronomy show on American public television previously hosted by Jack Foley Horkheimer, executive director of the Miami Space Transit Planetarium. After his death in 2010 from a respiratory illness from which he'd suffered since childhood, a series of guest astronomers hosted until 2011, when Dean Regas, James Albury and Marlene Hidalgo became permanent co-hosts. On the weekly program, the host informs the viewer of significant astronomical events for the upcoming week, including key constellations, stars and planets, lunar eclipses and conjunctions, as well as historical and scientific information about these events. The program is available free to all Public Broadcasting Service public television stations, educational institutions and astronomy clubs. A month of episodes can be recorded from a satellite feed which occurs approximately two weeks before the official broadcast dates.

Star Gazers Audience Reviews

Crwthod A lot more amusing than I thought it would be.
ThedevilChoose When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.
Humbersi The first must-see film of the year.
Zlatica One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.
brian_m_hass "Star Gazers" (formerly "Jack Horkheimer: Star Hustler" and then "Jack Horkheimer: Star Gazer") is an informative five-minute-long weekly television program about astronomy. It broadcasts on most public television stations in the United States. Episodes can also be viewed via the Internet. The program is unique in that it provides weekly overviews of celestial events taking place in the night sky. It is suitable for both children and adults. Both novices and experienced amateur astronomers will enjoy the program. Additional information can also be found on the program's two websites. The older "Jack Horkheimer: Star Gazer" website contains links to video pod-casts as well as full color "Star Gazing with Jack Horkheimer" comics. The television program and its two websites are highly recommended!
Movie Nuttball Whenever this extremely short but entertaining program was on I always tried to catch it and due to its short running time some times I only got to watch very little of it but every time was really a treat! I love to watch the sky and look at the planets and stars! I always wonder what is out there! Another treat that this show has is the music by one of My favorites, Isao Tomita! It was really a cool show and the host Jack Horkheimer was always good! Really a classic show!
Anchor69 This is the coolest end to your day. Jack flies around on a "star stream" of sorts. Just his excitement about astronomy makes it worthwhile to watch. He also provides very detailed information about the subject matter. I really think that he should be put in a movie or television show.
yortsnave Each episode of this series is only a few minutes long, with astronomer/host Jack Horkheimer describing in an entertaining and light-hearted way what's currently going on in the sky for that week.I recommend the series for the scientifically-curious of all ages, but especially for the youngsters. My only quibble is that the show is hard to find--the only time I've seen it is just before sign-off, well after midnight, on a public TV station.
