Really inspiring, interesting, eye-opening book.
Incredibly informative accounts of the crazy journeys astronomers must go through to attain pictures and data of the universe.
Levesque touches on topics including gender inequality within astronomy, indigenous rights to landscapes, and how AI / tech advancement is affecting the field of astronomy.
As a woman, I found this book incredibly inspiring; it is amazing to read about a woman fulfil her childhood dream of being an astronomer and thriving in a male-dominated field.
Would definitely recommend for anyone interested in astronomy, the universe, physics, and generally interesting stories.
