What a woman! As much as I denigrate "science" as it relates to Earth-bound climates, a deserving woman of a more mature science, astronomy, is honored this week as the leading edge of space-based astronomy, who, among other accomplishments, spearheaded the Hubble telescope project. A new telescope, named in her honor, will soon launch to examine, more accurately than any telescope in space or on Earth, the nature of dark matter.
Nancy Grace Roman now has a supreme view of all, having passed from us on Christmas Day of 2018.
