Named for Nora Jenkinson, Scottish astronomy educator. In the town of Haddington, near Edinburgh, she conducted weekly classes in astronomy for youngsters for the past 22 years (missing only six weeks because of severe weather). In her retirement, she has expanded the classes, and her boundless cheerfulness and enthusiasm are communicated to all those whom she teaches, many of them having gone on to study astronomy at a university.
