Story
In Vera Rubin: A Life, Jacqueline Mitton and Simon Mitton provide a detailed, accessible overview of Rubin's work, showing how she leveraged immense curiosity, profound intelligence, and novel technologies to help transform our understanding of the cosmos. But Rubin's impact was not limited to her contributions to scientific knowledge. She also helped to transform scientific practice by promoting the careers of women researchers. Not content to be an inspiration, Rubin was a mentor and champion for hiring women faculty and honoring them with awards historically exclusive to men.

Story
We now know that the universe is mostly dark, made up of particles and forces undetectable by our most powerful telescopes. The discovery signaled a Copernican-like revolution in astronomy: not only are we not the center of the universe, neither is the stuff of which we're made. Vera Rubin played a pivotal role in this discovery. By showing that some astronomical objects seem to defy gravity, Rubin helped convince the scientific community of the possibility of dark matter. In Bright Galaxies, Dark Matter, and Beyond, Ashley Jean Yeager tells the story of Rubin's life and work.

Story
"Hace muchos años -1976- estuve en Tucson, Arizona, y en el planetario de la ciudad había un ciclo de charlas de divulgación. Una de ellas me llamó poderosamente la atención. La ofrecía el astrónomo de la Universidad de Arizona, Nick Woolf, y se titulaba "The Universe: I can Feel it in my Bones". El título era tan provocativo que me inspiró para una charla pública que, ya de vuelta en Chile, he dictado durante años: "Somos polvo de estrellas". A miles de jóvenes y no tan jóvenes les he contado lo que yo considero una de las más grandes historias de la astronomía.
