Very sad to hear of the passing of Ed Stone, who has died at the age of 88.
Best known perhaps as the project scientist from 1972 to 2022 for the Voyager missions to Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, & Neptune, Ed played a key role in the history of space science, including 10 years leading NASA JPL.
I met him at a space particle & fundamental physics conference at CERN in 2012, where I took these pictures. Originals: https://flic.kr/s/aHsjCM5rJJ
Ad astra, Ed ✨
