Hi all,

The Exhibit Museum Planetarium produced a program several years ago 
called:  "Women in Astronomy:  A History."  It is designed around 18 
brief vignettes, focusing on a handful of women who made significant, 
but often unheard of contributions to astronomy.   They are covered 
briefly, the entire program running about thirty minutes.  Among the 
women included are:  Hypatia, Annie Jump Cannon, Caroline Herschel , 
Carolyn Shoemaker, Carolyn Porco, Jocelyn Bell, and others. Do you know 
what each of these women are famous for?

The program is open-ended, inviting the viewer to be aware of who will 
be the next famous, "woman in astronomy?"


Regards,

Matt Linke
