Hubert Reeves, a Quebec astronomer, environmentalist, and author, passed away on Friday at the age of 91. Numerous honors, such as the Samuel de Champlain and Albert Einstein prizes, have been bestowed upon him throughout the course of his lengthy career in Quebec, the United States, and Europe.

Hubert Reeves is regarded as one of the top astrophysicists of his generation and has received eight honorary doctorates in addition to being a Companion of the Order of Canada, Officer of the Ordre national du Québec, and holder of these titles.
