ABOUT THE SHOW
1900.
Cambridge.
Enthralled by the night sky, Henrietta Leavitt joins the Harvard Computers, a sisterhood of scientists who chronicle the stars.
Despite dismissal from her male supervisors, she records her own observations of Cepheid stars and changes the way we look at the universe forever.
Sarah Shin ("The Chinese Lady") returns to direct what the San Francisco Chronicle calls “sheer magic.”
Written by Lauren Gunderson, author of past favorites "The Half-Life of Marie Curie" and "Emilie La Marquise du Chatalet Defends Her Life Tonight."
