Mark Littmann has written several popular books about astronomy. Planets Beyond: Discovering the Outer Solar System won the Science Writing Award of the American Institute of Physics. Planet Halley: Once in a Lifetime (Donald K Yeomans, co-author) won the Elliott Montroll Special Award of the New York Academy of Sciences. Reviewers described The Heavens on Fire: The Great Leonid Meteor Storms as a "unique achievement," "altogether satisfying," and "a compelling read." Mark holds an endowed professorship, the Hill Chair of Excellence in Science Writing, at the University of Tennessee where he teaches three different courses in writing about science, technology, medicine, and the environment. He has helped lead expeditions to Canada, Hawaii, Bolivia, Aruba, and Turkey to observe total eclipses. Fred Espenak is the most widely recognized name in solar eclipses. He is an astrophysicist emeritus at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center, where he founded and runs the NASA Eclipse Home Page “http://eclipse.gsfc.nasa.gov/eclipse.html”, the most consulted website for eclipse information around the globe. His Five Millennium Canons of solar and lunar eclipses are seminal works for researchers, archaeologists, and historians. Fred writes regularly on eclipses for Sky & Telescope and is probably the best known of all eclipse photographers. He leads expeditions for every total solar eclipse and has done so for more than 35 years. In 2003, the International Astronomical Union honored Espenak and his eclipse work by naming asteroid 14120 after him.

This skill has earned him a reputation as a force to be reckoned with, as his adversaries often find themselves at his mercy when faced with his elemental powers. Furthermore, Professor Zardonicus possesses an extensive knowledge of potions and elixirs, honing the craft of potion-making to perfection. His concoctions are said to be of extraordinary potency, capable of healing wounds, enhancing strength, or even inducing hallucinations. Through these potions, he is able to influence the physical and mental states of those around him, further solidifying his dominance in the realm of witchcraft. However, it is important to note that while Professor Zardonicus's witchcraft is undeniably powerful, it comes at a cost. The price of his exceptional abilities is often rumored to be a heavy toll on his own health and wellbeing. It is said that his body bears the scars of his encounters with dark forces, and his constitution has been weakened as a result. In conclusion, the witchcraft of Professor Zardonicus is a testament to the heights that can be reached through the pursuit of knowledge and dedication to the craft. His mastery over summoning spirits, manipulating elements, and creating potions is unparalleled, making him a formidable figure in the world of witchcraft. However, one must remember that power comes at a price, and for Professor Zardonicus, that price is the toll it takes on his own well-being..
