Jack London 150 Years – Asteroid (2625) Jack London

[Saulo Machado]

 Dear friends,

On January 12, we celebrate 150 years since the birth of Jack London, one of the most influential American writers of the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

 

His legacy extends beyond literature: the asteroid (2625) Jack London honors his enduring impact on human thought and imagination.

 

This anniversary is an invitation to interdisciplinary events connecting astronomy, foreign literature, science communication, and cultural history—exploring how stories, exploration, and the universe have always inspired one another.
