This story was originally published on September 25, 1997 in the Phoenix New Times, where today the article is presented without art and in a rather shabby state.
Beautifully written. I could almost see Bernheim, in people passing on the street, those who are only at home playing chess in the park or selling art on the corner. Now, when I look up at the sky I will see him there, too.
Maybe he is making his way through the cosmos, visiting Target Two and going beyond.
Deserves to be in an anthology book about astronomers.
The pacing, not til the end sentences, such good writing, then final sentence I had to weep.
A journalistic classic about a classic.

"ineluctable"
I like that word.
And ma girl Nellie McKay had this to say,
"I'm finished, done and had it
And while you fucks are at it
As far as I'm concerned
Pluto's still a planet"

Wow, awesome subject and awesome writing. Triumph and tragedy.
Yes, somewhere, when this article is shown, it has to include the pictures. Incredible photos.
Ought to be in Arizona publications, really deserves being anthologized this article.
Excellent read Tony!
