1/2 It's the International Women and Girls in Science Day! Share your favorite contribution a woman has made to astronomy below.
It's hard to choose a individual contribution for us, so we're choosing a fun fact:
Did you know astronomer Jill Tarter coined the term Brown Dwarf?
Have you ever wanted a #SpaceEngine hoodie, mug, or t-shirt?
We're thinking about merch and want the community to have a say!
If interested, head over to the survey: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...
Let us know what kind of products you'd like to see. The responses are completely anonymous.
