The return of DPL's astronomy program, after too long an absence. Professor Nicolle Zellner reviews the history of the first cohort of U.S. female astronaut trainees—the 'Mercury 13'. They underwent the same physical and psychological testing as NASA astronauts to see if they, too, had "the right stuff." As usual, we will be on Zoom, but Dr. Zellner will be presenting from the Knapp Branch. Directions are in the Eventbrite posting. The Legacy of the First Lady Astronaut Trainees Tuesday, August 26 6:00-7:30 p.m. https://dpl-women-astronauts.eventbrite.com The program will be recorded, and should be available on the Detroit Public Library YouTube channel within a few weeks. We now have a virtual channel just for the astronomy programs: https://bit.ly/DPLAstronomy Jennifer Jennifer Dye Manager Detroit Public Library jdye@detroitpubliclibrary.org Knapp Branch 13330 Conant 313-481-1771 M, W, F 10-6 Tu, Th 12-8 Detroit, Michigan 48212
