Erich Karkoschka (born 1955) is a planetary researcher at the Lunar and Planetary Laboratory of the University of Arizona. He discovered a satellite of Uranus, S/1986 U 10 (later named Perdita) on photographs taken by the Voyager 2 spacecraft.[1] He has assembled a number of movies including: the Huygens landing on the moon Titan,[2] the seasonal patterns on Uranus,[3] and a rare triple eclipse on Jupiter.[4] The Jupiter and Uranus images were released as US postage stamps in 2016.[5]

His book, The Observer's Sky Atlas,[6] has been translated into several languages as a resource for those interested in observing the sky.

An asteroid, 30786 Karkoschka (1988 QC), is named in his honour.[7]
