Silent Sky
| Author: Lauren Gunderson | |
| Premiered: 2015 | Work Type: Play |
| Description: Based on the true story of Henrietta Leavitt, a female astronomer at the Harvard Observatory in the early 1900s who, despite being barred from using the main telescope, made a groundbreaking discovery about the relationship between a star's brightness and its period, which allowed for measuring cosmic distances. The play explores her dedication to science, her relationships, and the challenges women faced in a male-dominated field, blending historical fact with fictionalized elements to create an intimate and inspiring story about discovery, love, and women's place in society. | |
