Parke Kunkle ushered more than 6,000 students to the former Minneapolis planetarium in a teaching career that spanned 48 years. He earned several teacher of the year awards at Minneapolis College teaching astronomy, physics, computer programming, engineering, and mathematics. He earned his Master’s degree in Physics from the University of Minnesota. He has been a guest on both local and national media discussing astronomical events such as constellations, planetary alignments, and the zodiac.
