Astronomy: Women in Astronomy
2-day event: 2/10/2012 - 2/11/2012
The typical astronomer is usually portrayed as a man. However, women have been making important, direct contributions to astronomy for centuries. Today, a significant number of astronomers are women. Hear about the histories and achievements of selected women astronomers while viewing some of the many celestial objects they studied. During this program we will observe Jupiter, a giant blue star, a supernova remnant, a nebula and a spiral galaxy.
