What American polymath, professor, science and fiction writer lived in this house in Newton, Massachusetts from 1956 to 1970? Hint: he has an asteroid and a crater on Mars named after him.
Sorry about the photo quality - it was pouring at the time.

I'm the anonymous commenter above. To be fair, your post narrows the field down quite a lot.
Polymath? How about the author who's written books in every major category of the Dewey decimal system except Philosophy?
Professor? This is, of course, "Doctor Asimov".
Science and fiction writer? That's why I and so many other people adore him. His fiction is well known, but his Guide to Science was an enlightening experience growing up.
You forgot to mention Bible commentator
Asimov's most charming essay is th eone he contributed to an anthology on P.G.Wodehouse. He was the only author that crticised Wodehouse's (and so, ours as well) heroes. Psmith, Bertie Wooster, Jeeves and even Beech were ruthlessly dissed. And Asimov's hero - the efficient Baxter!
