Re: A worthy tribute

It is only fitting to have her name in the stars.

And it is a good thing that will remind people that, at every step of our advancement in knowledge since at least Ancient Greece (and probably before that), there has always been a woman somewhere developing ideas that no man had thought of before.

There has been Hypatia in Alexandrian times, of course Marie Curie, and there have been others but those are the two names that come to my mind right now.

I now know that Nancy Grace Roman is part of this pantheon without which Science would simply not be the same.
