The article ran in several other newspapers, including the Contra Costa Times and the Portland Oregonian. Professor of astronomy and astrophysics Steven Vogt was profiled in the Contra Costa Sun. The article includes anecdotes about Vogt's youth (he grew up in Lafayette), a glowing account of his accomplishments, and some imaginative descriptions of his scientific work. Vogt was also quoted in an Associated Press story that ran in the Santa Cruz Sentinel about objections by native Hawaiians to the construction of telescopes on Mauna Kea. An item in USA Today described research on supermassive black holes conducted by Hubble postdoctoral fellow Karl Gebhardt and his collaborators.
