Silent Sky by Lauren Gunderson I 7:30 pm
Free Admission for Students
Full of wonder, humor, and heart, Lauren Gunderson's Silent Sky is the remarkable true story of Henrietta Leavitt, one of the pioneering women astronomers working at Harvard Observatory in the early 1900s. When Leavitt begins working at the observatory, she isn’t allowed to touch a telescope, much less engage in academic discourse. Instead, she joins a group of women “computers” charting the stars for a renowned male astronomer. During a time when men both dismissed and claimed credit for women’s ideas, Henrietta took on the astronomy establishment. She transcended the odds while navigating love, family, and the universe, going on to make a world-altering advancement to the field of astronomy that forever changed our view of the cosmos.
