Missing Nick

Star Search

A Middlebury astrophysicist blazes a cosmic trail

Like their Hollywood counterparts, some of the biggest stars in the Milky Way galaxy capture our attention long after burning out. Considered in this light, Middlebury College physics professor Frank Winkler is a sort of interplanetary paparazzo — his research focuses on supernovas, or, as he puts it, “stars that blow up in the atmosphere.”

Four months after taking over the lease at the former Eat Good Food Grill, Bar and Deli restaurant at 51 Main Street, Middlebury College has yet to set an opening date for a planned student-oriented venue that is still searching for an identity.
