Jack Horkheimer: Star Gazer is a five-minute astronomy show on public television hosted by Jack Foley Horkheimer (born Foley Arthur Horkheimer, June 11, 1938 – August 20, 2010)[1] executive director of the Miami Space Transit Planetarium[2]. In the weekly program, Horkheimer informs the viewer of significant astronomical events for the upcoming week, including key constellations, stars and planets, lunar eclipses and conjunctions, as well as historical and scientific information about these events. Episodes usually feature Horkheimer in front of a green screen, where he appears to sit on top of a planetary ring on one side of the screen. Horkheimer then uses the screen to illustrate starfields and diagrams appropriate to his subject. Star Gazer has been in weekly production since 1976, and has produced over 1,500 episodes as of September 2006.

Horkheimer also appeared on bumpers and commercials for Cartoon Network's Cartoon Cartoon Fridays in 1999.
