What
he does
Klaus Keil studies meteorites, searching for clues to how the planets
and asteroids formed.
How
he got into science
When Klaus was just 12, he started doing college chemistry experiments
in his house. His mother encouraged her budding scientist, even
after he set fire to curtains in their kitchen!
Favorite
accomplishment
Klaus was thrilled to work on space missions, including the Apollo
missions to the Moon and the Viking missions to Mars. Still, he
says, studying meteorites excites him the most.
In
his free time
Klaus is a devoted tennis player. He shares his love for the game
with his daughter and son, who grew up to be tennis professionals.
