Event Details

Over 100 years ago, female astronomers calculated the distances, temperatures, and composition of the stars, yet their legacies were eclipsed by their male counterparts. Historical interpreter Rebecca Tulloch will highlight the scientific contributions made by revolutionary astronomers Henrietta Swan Leavitt, Annie Jump Cannon, and Cecilia Payne.
