Two extraordinary women. Two remarkable lives. Four conversations about curiosity, discovery and changing what’s possible.
Join Battle Point Observatory for a four-part winter book club exploring Christa McAuliffe and Aomawa Shields through books about their lives, discoveries and journeys in science.
Worried about finishing a whole book in one month? Don’t fret! We decided to split each book into two parts and spread each remarkable life we cover across two meetings. You have one month to finish half of each book!
The series is facilitated by Erin Howard, a research scientist whose own work connects directly to astronomy and the Vera C. Rubin Observatory.
Meet with us on Zoom for one session or all four:
January 26th and February 23rd | Christa McAuliffe A Journal for Christa: Christa McAuliffe, Teacher in Space by Grace George Corrigan (Christa’s mom!)
March 23rd and April 27th | Aomawa Shields Life on Other Planets: A Memoir of Finding my Place in the Universe by Dr. Aomawa Shields
