Professor Doering travels back in time.

In the summer of 1953, the Michigan Symposium on Astrophysics proved to be a watershed for Astrophysics. Among the guests pictured in the group shot: G.K. Batchelor (fifth from right along bottom). Professor Doering will be delivering the Batchelor Lecture on Friday, May 5, 2017 at Cambridge so we thought it might be nice if he could travel back in time and join the original group.

The original Michigan Symposium on Astrophysics group shot. "The event proved instrumental in shaping our understanding of stellar evolution and in shaping the future careers of many of the participants." From participant Owen Gingerich's December 1994 article in Physics Today.

Second from the right at bottom is the photographer of this picture and symposium attendee Ed Speigel (plaid). Look to his left to see the time traveller. When you download the .pdf on the link, there is a key identifying most of the participants including a young Vera Rubin who passed away in December.
