Kaufmann's obituary noted: "William Kaufmann, one of the best-known popularizers of astronomy, died suddenly at the age of 51 in 1994. He left behind a legacy of nontechnical books through which students, amateurs, and the public learned about some of the most abstract and fascinating research topics of our day. ... In 1970, Kaufmann was selected as the Director of the Griffith Observatory, a post he held until 1974. At Griffith, he initiated a number of programs designed to raise the profile of the observatory such as public lectures and planetarium shows on current and exotic topics in astronomy."
