In this 4-session class, we look at women who  have changed the way we look at our planet and the Universe in which we live. From ancient astronomers like Hypatia of Alexandria through the remarkable women of the Harvard Observatory in the 1890s, to 20th and 21st century trailblazers like Vera Rubin, Nancy Roman, Margaret Geller, and Jill Tarter whose accomplishments have truly opened up the cosmos for humankind. 

Class limited to 15participants. Register online here.

Presented by Dr. Bill Thierfelder, Professor Emeritus and Docent at the American Museum of Natural History

At Wilsonville Public Library
