- Duncan_Steel abstract "Duncan I. Steel FRAS (born 1955), is a British scientist born in Midsomer Norton, Somerset. Currently he lives in Wellington, New Zealand, but holds visiting positions as a Professor of Astrobiology at the University of Buckingham in England; as a Space Scientist at NASA-Ames Research Center in California; and as an Astronomer at Armagh Observatory in Northern Ireland. Duncan is a world-renowned space science authority who has worked with NASA to assess the threat of comet and asteroid collisions and investigate technologies to avert such impacts. He is also the author of four popular-level science books on space, and regularly writes for The Guardian and various other newspapers and magazines. He was the discoverer of the main-belt asteroid 9767 Midsomer Norton, plus another eleven minor planets. Duncan was born within a few yards of the back row of seats in the Palladium Cinema (in the High Street of Midsomer Norton), where his father Ken Steel (b. 1929) started as rewind boy and finally needed to close the establishment, as the owner, 49 years later. His mother Shirley Steel (b. 1932) was brought up in Parsons Newsagency in The Island; she was awarded the British Empire Medal (BEM) in the New Year's Honours 2014 in recognition of her 62 years of voluntary service to the local community. There are five children of the Steel family. The eldest is Professor Karen Steel (b. 1953), a geneticist who was inducted as a Fellow of the Royal Society in 2009, was jointly awarded the Brain Prize in 2012 by the Queen of Denmark, and is now Professor of Sensory Function at King's College, University of London; she is married to Dr Simon Teague (one child: Sam). Next is Duncan. Following him is Melinda Dowling (b. 1958) who runs Headlines Hairdressers in the High Street; she is married to Dale Dowling (three children: Abbie, Hollie and Jayson). The youngest daughter is Dr Ashley Steel (b. 1959) who lives in London with her partner Angie, and has worked for KPMG for many years. Russell Steel (b. 1964) lives in Midsomer Norton and Florida and operates a dealership in second-hand caravans and imported Harley-Davidson motorcycles plus a paintball game business at Hunstrete; he is married to Lynn (four children: Chelsea, Oliver, Brandon and Jared). Duncan was married, first, to Margareta Olsson of Helsingborg, Sweden (1982–88; no children) and, second, to Helen Pope of Adelaide (1991–2005; sons Harry and Elliot). For some years he went by the name Olsson-Steel.Outside the world of space science, Duncan claims to have introduced the Sex Pistols at their first completed concert (28 November 1975) at Queen Elizabeth College, and also The 101'ers (featuring Joe Strummer later of The Clash).".
