The very sad news of the death of astronomer, Professor Tapio Markkanen reached us this autumn. Markkanen passed away at the age of 75 on 28 August 2017 after a courageous battle with a fierce disease. He was born in Oulu on 28 January 1942. Tapio Markkanen graduated from high school (Helsingin Normaalilyseo) in 1961, defended his doctoral thesis on galactic magnetic fields and interstellar dust in 1977 at the University of Helsinki. He was appointed adjunct professor the same year. The next year he found two formerly unknown galaxies in the regions of the Milky Way, which were, as the cloud of cosmic dust that he found, named after him.

Markkanen held numerous positions at several Finnish universities and scientific institutions. He contributed in many ways to the academic world as a scientist as well as an administrator. He also held many national and international positions of trusts, was an active member of several scientific societies and a highly appreciated lecturer. In February this year, the Finnish Society for the History of Science and Learning had the last opportunity to hear him talk. He spoke about his greatly appreciated work in recent years—on the cosmological knowledge of the Finnish writer Tove Jansson as it appears in her Moomin books loved worldwide. A more detailed obituary of Tapio Markkanen was published in Finnish in Helsingin Sanomat, 17 September 2017, available at http://www.hs.fi/muistot/ art-2000005369022.html
