Sayre, James Pickering published seven popular books on astronomy; The Stars Are Yours, 1001 Questions about Astronomy, Captives of the Sun, Asterisks, Windows to Space, Famous Astronomers, and Astronomy for Amateur Observers. While working in the jewelry business as a credit manager, he sought and secured a part-time position as a lecturer at the American Museum-Hayden Planetarium, eventually becoming full-time as assistant astronomer and supervisor of customer relations. He also authored a number of television documentaries about astronomy. “James Pickering, Astronomer, dies,” New York Times, New York, New York, 15 February 1969; and “Planetarium lecturer dies,” Sky and Telescope 37 (April 1969), 221Google Scholar
