Intergalactic traveler, Dean of Astronomy (Saleh Mohammed Al-Ajairi) for Dr. Suad Mohammed Al-Sabah

Author: Dr. Suad Mohammed Al-Sabah Publisher: Dar Suad Al-Sabah for Publishing and Distribution As part of the series "Day of Loyalty" which celebrates the icons of science, culture, and literature in Kuwait and the Arab world, a book titled "Galactic Traveler Saleh Al-Ajiri... Dean of Astronomy" was issued by Dar Suad Al-Sabah for Publishing and Distribution. It was supervised by Dr. Suad Al-Sabah, edited by Ali Al-Masoudi, and participated in it a select group of writers and intellectuals, including: Ismail Fahd Ismail, Ashraf Abu Zaid, and others. It comes in 324 pages of large format. In the introduction to the book, Dr. Suad Al-Sabah says: "When news reports about Kuwait put images of the sea, the towers, the National Assembly, Al-Shaab Palace, and the Communications Tower as landmarks of Kuwait, they forget to include the image of this rare man; as an important landmark of Kuwait. It is represented in his face, his image, and his presence—goodness of Kuwait’s land, simplicity of its people, and harmony of its hearts. And if news reports do not do that, then historical reports will surely place Dr. Saleh Al-Ajiri on the list of those who made its magnificent, radiant history. And when Kuwaitis used to choose either land or sea to earn their livelihood, Dr. Saleh chose a third direction—'the sky.' As if from the beginning, he made the sciences of the sky a prelude to understanding the sciences of the earth. How noble, beautiful, and wonderful it is to deal with the sky... with its clouds, rain, stars, night, air, storms, and thunder... As if Al-Ajiri, shaped by the fabric of Kuwait, also had a role in shaping his heart through the sky. He distinguished himself with the innate purity, the purity of the soul, and a loving spirit for everyone, like scientists. Added to that was the beauty of his speech, the wit of his ideas, the presence of his quick wit, and this honoring is merely an attempt to express gratitude towards a man who was always a guest in every home. He is a herald of every holiday, and truly a scholar among Kuwait’s icons."
