| Abstract: | Several important turning points appeared in the personal life and scientific career of Zdeněk Kopal, every time, when he
entered a new field of research. Four particular periods of his life will be commented in the present paper: the studies in
Prague and early observations in the variable star programme of the Czech Astronomical Society; the first lectures on close
binaries at Harvard; the intermezzo of lunar research; and the last period after 1989, when Zdeněk Kopal returned several
times to Prague University. |
