The "orbit" of the Dogon dark star.
Nimoy posing with a tribal mask - our initial NFA image.
Later we get to see his legs in this seated NFA supplementary:
Hans Guggenheim initially appears in just a vest and pants.
Later, he too is in more of a Safari look, and has a professorial pipe as well.
Dr Gary Chapman, Astronomer
The man who first photographed Sirius B - Dr Lindenblad
A little of the FORTRAN code that powers the orbit animation in the episode:
We don't have enough information to know who made Nimoy's safari clothing, but if you want to try and track down a very close approximation, this example from J. Peterman's (est 1987) is as close a match as I've seen. You would still need to find it in a vintage shop because at present they don't sell these.
