James Van Allen passes away

Posted by on August 10th 2006 to Jedi Knights of Science

Via Pure Pedantry and CNN … James Van Allen, the man who discovered the Van Allen radiation belts that surround the Earth and many other advances in space exploration passed away at the age of 91.

It’s sad when the greats pass away … hopefully he’ll get a good send off next Shuttle launch.
