Περιγραφή για Life on Other Planets: A Memoir of Finding My Place in the Universe Aomawa Shields Constable 1010

As a child, Aomawa Shields was always bumping into things, her neck craned up at the sky, dreaming of becoming an astronaut. A year into an astrophysics PhD program, plagued by self-doubt and discouraged by a white male professor who suggested that she - a young Black woman who also loved fashion, makeup, and the arts - didn\'t belong, she left astronomy and pursued acting professionally for a decade, before a day job working for NASA\'s Spitzer Space Telescope drew her back to the stars. She was the oldest and the only Black student in her PhD cohort. This time, no professor, and no voice in her own head, would stop her.Now an astronomer and astrobiologist at the top of her field, Dr Shields studies the universe outside our solar system, researching and uncovering the planets circling distant stars with just the right conditions that could support life. But it\'s been a road as winding and complex as the physics she has mastered.Life on Other Planets is a journey of discovery on this world and on others, a story of creating a life that makes space for joy, love and wonder while being driven by one of our biggest questions: is anybody else out there? It is about the possibility of living between multiple worlds and not choosing - but instead charting a new path entirely. Σελίδες: 352, Έτος Έκδοσης: 1010, Διαστάσεις: 16.2x16.2cm
