I will be teaching a course at UTexas next semester which
uses science fiction stories to illustrate astronomical 
subjects.  I would greatly appreciate any suggestions
as to appropriate stories.  The only ground rules
are that they must be short stories ("Dragon's Egg" is out),
and that they must include topics of astronomical interest
(stories by Hal Clement are probably not quite right).
