Synopsis
An inspired biographical picture book about a female astronomer who makes huge discoveries about the
mysteries of the night sky and changed the way we look at the universe
Vera Rubin was one of the astronomers who discovered and named dark matter, the thing that keeps the
universe hanging together. Throughout her career she was never taken seriously as a scientist because she
was one of the only female astronomers at that time, but she didn’t let that stop her. She made groundbreaking
and incredibly significant discoveries that scientists have only recently been able to really appreciate—and she
changed the way that we look at the universe. A stunning portrait of a little-known trailblazer, The Stuff Between
the Stars tells Vera’s story and inspires the youngest readers who are just starting to look up at the stars.
