Geoffrey Notkin (born February 1, 1961) is an American actor, author, and entrepreneur. Notkin is known as one of the hosts of Meteorite Men , a documentary reality television series from Science Channel, which ran for three seasons. [1] He is the president [2] of the National Space Society, and holds a seat on the National Space Society Board of Governors. He is a long-time member of The Explorer's Club. [3] In 2013, Notkin's Twitter account was nominated for a Shorty Award, honoring the best in social media. [4] Notkin has also been interviewed on the Today show, Coast to Coast , and NASA Edge TV, and is a regular guest speaker at TusCon, an intimate science fiction, fantasy, and horror convention held annually in Tucson, Arizona. [5]

Contents

Early life

Notkin was born in New York City, but spent his childhood in and around London, England. [6] Notkin spent several of his formative years in Purley, Surrey and attended school in Croydon and St John's Wood. [7]

His parents were Sam Notkin, a twice-decorated World War II veteran who worked for the Port Authority, and Gay Flint Notkin, who worked for the American Embassy in Paris, the Rockefeller Foundation in New York, and the State Department. [8] Notkin credits his father, an amateur astronomer, for his interest in space and meteorites. [9]

Notkin left England at age 19 and lived in New York City, later attending New York City's School of Visual Arts (SVA), where he studied under renowned cartoonists Will Eisner and Harvey Kurtzman. [10] Notkin eventually became the editor of Will Eisner's Gallery of New Comics for SVA. [11]

After graduating college, Notkin worked at RAW Books & Graphics for owners Art Spiegelman and Françoise Mouly. [12] Notkin later became a production assistant to Art Spiegelman while he was creating his graphic novel, Maus , for which Spiegelman later won the Pulitzer Prize. Notkin inspired one of Spiegelman's Garbage Pail Kids, "Deaf Geoff." [11]

Notkin worked as a geologist for a year with an American oil exploration company based in London. [13]

Career

Music

In 1976, at age 15, Notkin attended his first concert with childhood friend Neil Gaiman, to which he attributes his love of music. In 1977, age 16, Notkin was the drummer for a punk rock band, Ex-Execs, whose members included Graham K. Smith, Al Kingsbury, and Gaiman. In fact, the lead character in Gaiman's short story and film, How to Talk to Girls at Parties, was inspired by Notkin. [14]

As part of the punk rock scene in London and New York, Notkin performed at The Rock Garden in Covent Garden, the Fulham Greyhound, CBGB, The Stone Pony, and The Knitting Factory. [15] Notkin remained a professional musician for over 20 years and worked with many artists, among them singer-songwriter Lach, with whom he formed a band called Proper iD; [16] drummer Billy Ficca of Television; and Anne Husick of Band of Susans. [9] Notkin appeared on four albums with Lach, including Blang! in 1997, produced by Richard Barone, which Billy Ficca also appeared on. [17] Other albums Notkin performed on are:

Meteorite hunting

Notkin's first meteorite hunt was in 1994 at Meteor Crater in Northern Arizona, followed in 1997 by a joint expedition to the Imilac strewnfield in the Atacama Desert with Steve Arnold, whom he met through email. Notkin has participated in meteorite hunting expeditions across the United States, including the famed Odessa Meteor Crater, Gold Basin in Arizona, and Brenham, Kansas, where Steve Arnold found the main mass of the Brenham meteorite.

Meteorite hunting lead Notkin to attend his first Tucson Gem & Mineral Show in 1998, which he has attended every year since and where his meteorite company, Aerolite Meteorites, now exhibits. [21]

"I was so taken in with the experience of the city and the gem show," Notkin said. "As a kid, I would implore my parents to stop at roadside rock shops. Coming here for the first time, it was like a whole city of rock shops. Since then, I haven't missed a show in 22 years." [22]

Aerolite Meteorites, Inc.

In 2005, Notkin established Aerolite Meteorites, an international meteorite company offering a wide range of products, from entry-level to museum quality specimens. [23] Aerolite has supplied a genuine iron meteorite for use in The Wolverine (2013), though footage of the meteorite was ultimately cut from the film. Aerolite also supplied an iron meteorite weighing 88 pounds (40 kg) as a birthday present for Sting. [24]

Notkin and his company, Aerolite Meteorites, are supporters of Beads of Courage, a Tucson-based charity that aims to provide supportive arts-based care programs for children coping with serious illness. Notkin is a Carry a Bead celebrity participant and carried handcrafted beads with him while filming episodes for STEM Journals. [25]

Meteorite Men

Notkin co-hosted the critically acclaimed Science Channel show Meteorite Men with Steve Arnold, a fellow meteorite hunter. The show ran for three seasons and shot episodes in 11 countries, including Chile, Sweden, Poland, and Australia. [26]

Arnold and Notkin first met via email correspondence before embarking on a meteorite hunting expedition in the Atacama Desert in Chile in 1997. [27] Notkin's written account of this trip was published in two parts in distinguished mathematician and meteorite specialist Joel Schiff's ‘’Meteorite’’ magazine in May 1998 and August 1998. [13]

Meteorite Men won two bronze Telly Awards for Season 1 and Season 2. [28]

Stem Journals

Stem Journals is a science educational television show on Cox7 Arizona which Notkin hosted from 2013 to 2014. In 2014, the show won a Rocky Mountain Emmy [29] and Bronze and Silver Telly Awards. [30]

In Spaceflight

In 2012, Notkin hand-selected a meteorite to be donated by his company, Aerolite Meteorites, Inc., as a part of the first-place trophy for the third annual Student NewSpace Business Plan Competition, which took place at the SpaceVision conference, organized by SEDS-USA. [31]

In 2013, Notkin was named "Stellar Partner of the Year" by Challenger Space Center Arizona for his work in supporting STEM education programs at the Center, as well as for his exhibit, "They Came from Outer Space," which was featured in the main exhibit room at the Center for two years. [32]

On November 14, 2015, Notkin gave a TEDx Talk at Institut Le Rosey in Switzerland titled Meteorites: Life, Death, and Hope on Earth. [33]

In 2015, Notkin emceed the regional edition of NASA FameLab, a global competition featuring early career scientists with the intent to nurture the skills necessary to communicate science-related topics to a public audience. The competition was held in Arizona at Phoenix Comicon 2015. [34]

Notkin holds a position on the Board of Governors of the National Space Society and is often a keynote speaker at the International Space Development Conference, an annual spaceflight event hosted by the NSS. [35] He is also writes a column for Ad Astra magazine, the official publication of the NSS, titled "Throwing Pebbles at the Sky." [36]

In addition to being president of the National Space Society and holding a position on its Board of Governors, Notkin also serves on the Board of Directors of the Astrosociology Research Institute and as an adviser to Deep Space Industries. [37] Notkin is also currently involved with Megafonzie, a new multi-platform science network. [38]

Asteroid 132904, discovered at Mount Palomar in California by astrophysicist and fellow meteorite specialist Robert Mason, was named "Notkin" in honor of his work in science education. [39]

Notkin has participated in several spaceflight events and conferences, notably Space Rocks. The pilot event took place on April 22, 2018, at the O2 Arena in London and celebrated advances in spaceflight and the art, music, and culture they inspire. Space Rocks won Best Event at the 2018 Progressive Music Awards, hosted by Prog Magazine. [40]

Notkin is also involved with Taking Up Space, an organization dedicated to expanding educational and vocational opportunities for Native American girls by keeping them interested in STEM fields and ultimately sending them to Space Camp. In 2018, Notkin was the emcee for a fundraising event held in Tucson, Arizona, featuring guitarist Gabriel Ayala.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Meteorite</span> Solid debris from outer space that hits a planetary surface

A meteorite is a solid piece of debris from an object, such as a comet, asteroid, or meteoroid, that originates in outer space and survives its passage through the atmosphere to reach the surface of a planet or moon. When the original object enters the atmosphere, various factors such as friction, pressure, and chemical interactions with the atmospheric gases cause it to heat up and radiate energy. It then becomes a meteor and forms a fireball, also known as a shooting star; astronomers call the brightest examples "bolides". Once it settles on the larger body's surface, the meteor becomes a meteorite. Meteorites vary greatly in size. For geologists, a bolide is a meteorite large enough to create an impact crater.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Meteor Crater</span> Meteorite impact crater in northern Arizona

Meteor Crater or Barringer Crater is a meteorite impact crater about 37 mi (60 km) east of Flagstaff and 18 mi (29 km) west of Winslow in the desert of northern Arizona, United States. The site had several earlier names, and fragments of the meteorite are officially called the Canyon Diablo Meteorite, after the adjacent Canyon Diablo.

It is the second-largest city in Arizona behind Phoenix, with a population of 542,629 in the 2020 United States census, while the population of the entire Tucson metropolitan statistical area (MSA) is 1,043,433. The Tucson MSA forms part of the larger Tucson-Nogales combined statistical area. Both Tucson and Phoenix anchor the Arizona Sun Corridor. The city is 108 miles (174 km) southeast of Phoenix and 60 mi (97 km) north of the United States–Mexico border. Tucson is the 34th-largest city and the 53rd-largest metropolitan area in the United States (2014).

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Meteoroid</span> Sand- to boulder-sized particle of debris in the Solar System

A meteoroid is a small rocky or metallic body in outer space. Meteoroids are distinguished as objects significantly smaller than asteroids, ranging in size from grains to objects up to a meter wide. Objects smaller than meteoroids are classified as micrometeoroids or space dust. Most are fragments from comets or asteroids, whereas others are collision impact debris ejected from bodies such as the Moon or Mars.

A sample-return mission is a spacecraft mission to collect and return samples from an extraterrestrial location to Earth for analysis. Sample-return missions may bring back merely atoms and molecules or a deposit of complex compounds such as loose material and rocks. These samples may be obtained in a number of ways, such as soil and rock excavation or a collector array used for capturing particles of solar wind or cometary debris. Nonetheless, concerns have been raised that the return of such samples to planet Earth may endanger Earth itself.

101955 Bennu (provisional designation 1999 RQ36) is a carbonaceous asteroid in the Apollo group discovered by the LINEAR Project on 11 September 1999. It is a potentially hazardous object that is listed on the Sentry Risk Table and has the highest cumulative rating on the Palermo Technical Impact Hazard Scale. It has a cumulative 1-in-1,750 chance of impacting Earth between 2178 and 2290 with the greatest risk being on 24 September 2182. It is named after Bennu, the ancient Egyptian mythological bird associated with the Sun, creation, and rebirth.

2010 RF12 is a very small asteroid, classified as near-Earth object of the Apollo group, that passed between Earth and the Moon on 8 September 2010, at 21:12 UTC, approaching Earth within 79,000 kilometres (49,000 mi) above Antarctica. The asteroid was discovered by the Mount Lemmon Survey near Tucson, Arizona on 5 September 2010 along with 2010 RX30. Based on a short 7-day observation arc from that apparation, it was listed for 12 years on the Sentry Risk Table as the asteroid with the greatest known probability (5%) of impacting Earth. 2010 RF12 was recovered in August 2022, and now has a 12 year observation arc and a much better known orbit. As of the December 2022 solution which accounts for nongravitational forces, there is a 1-in-10 chance of an Earth impact on 5 September 2095.
