Sten Felix Odenwald (born November 23, 1952) is an American astronomer, author, and NASA scientist-educator. Odenwald has worked as part of the NASA Cosmic Background Explorer, Diffuse Infrared Background Experiment investigating the cosmic infrared background. His interests later included space weather as an historical phenomenon. He has published four books: The Astronomy Cafe, The 23rd Cycle, Patterns in the Void and Back to the Astronomy Cafe. He has also appeared in a number of TV and radio documentaries on astronomy and space weather. Since receiving his Ph.D. in astronomy from Harvard University in 1982, he has been an astronomer in the Washington, D.C. area, primarily at NASA's Goddard Spaceflight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland. Since 2000, he has been actively involved in science and math education at NASA, and was a founding member of the Sun-Earth Connection Education Forum,〔https://aas.org/archives/BAAS/v31n3/aas194/849.htm〕 among many other high-visibility NASA education projects involving space weather issues, archeoastronomy and the transits of Venus in 2004 and 2012.

==Early life==
Odenwald was born in Karlskoga, Sweden, and emigrated to California with his family in 1955. He grew up in Oakland, where he attended primary school. After attending Fremont High School between 1968-1971, Odenwald attended U.C. Berkeley between 1971-1975. He received his Bachelor's Degree in Astronomy in 1975, and attended Harvard University as a graduate student in Astronomy from 1975 to 1982.
At Harvard, he studied accretion disks around supermassive black holes. He then worked with Dr. Giovanni Fazio, and completed his Ph.D. in 1982 by investigating the far-infrared properties of the Milky Way's galactic center and the interstellar environment of a million-solar-mass black hole found there.〔http://adsabs.harvard.edu/full/1984ApJ...283..601O〕 He also worked at the Columbia Scientific Balloon Facility in Palestine, Texas, participating in high-altitude balloon launches involving the 1-meter infrared telescope that Fazio and his team built in 1975. While at Harvard, he was the Teaching Assistant for Owen Gingerich and David Latham.〔http://astronomy.fas.harvard.edu/people/david-latham〕
