“Der Jupiter bildete eine geometrisch fast völlig kreisrunde Scheibe aus rötlich-gelbem Licht von etwa dem halben Durchmesser des Mondes, wie man ihn von der Erde aus sieht, aber wegen seiner großen Sonnenferne mit nur dem siebenten Teil seiner Helligkeit.”
Asimov was born sometime between October 4, 1919 and January 2, 1920 in Petrovichi in Smolensk Oblast, RSFSR (now Russia), the son of a Jewish family of millers. Although his exact date of birth is uncertain, Asimov himself celebrated it on January 2. His family emigrated to Brooklyn, New York and opened a candy store when he was three years old. He taught himself to read at the age of five. He began reading the science fiction pulp magazines that his family's store carried. Around the age of eleven, he began to write his own stories, and by age nineteen, he was selling them to the science fiction magazines. He graduated from Columbia University in 1939. He married Gertrude Blugerman in 1942
