The 2011 season of the astronomy TV show Jack Horkheimer: Star Gazer started on January 3, 2011, with guest host Dean Regas of the Cincinnati Observatory.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12] This is the first full season after Jack Horkheimer's death. The series tried out new hosts and settled on Dean Regas and James Albury to be co-hosts on the show.[13] On October 3, 2011, the title of the series was changed to Star Gazers. The show's name change was accompanied by the launch of a new Star Gazers website for the series; while, the older Jack Horkheimer: Star Gazer website continued to be maintained and updated as well.
