Among his accomplishments: He has discovered 23 comets, written over three dozen books, and been awarded five honorary doctorates in science. Dr. Levy has also been featured on the Discovery and the Science Channels and received an Emmy for the documentary "Three Minutes to Impact."

The discussion, which is in collaboration with East End Libraries, will run from 7 to 8 p.m. Admission is free, but registration is required at cutchogue.librarycalendar.com/events/nightwatchmans-journey-evening-david-h-levy-zoom.
