KARL G. HENIZE
The astronomer-turned-astronaut pens this letter of apology
Autograph Letter Signed: "Karl G. Henize", 1p, 8½x11. Enid, Oklahoma, 1968 October 20. To Mr. Buchanan. Henize cannot approve Buchanan's publication of an earlier letter because he has "only a dim memory of what I may have written" and has "no knowledge whatsoever of the context in which my letter may be used…." Dr. Henize (1926-1993) was a Mission Specialist on the Spacelab-2 mission in 1985. A noted astronomer, Henize discovered over 2,000 stars in the southern hemisphere (they are marked with "HE" in star catalogs) and was renowned for his photograph of the Large Magellanic Cloud (MGC). In 1993, while climbing Mount Everest on a scientific expedition, Henize died of respiratory and heart failure and was buried at 22,000 feet. Slightly creased. Otherwise, fine condition.
