1. Black-and-white image of two women astronomers against a yellow background with an abstract series of black lines connected by small, black dots, reminiscent of constellations. At the top left, the name Dr. Nancy Grace Roman appears in green lettering. Below her name, Dr. Roman gazes heavenward. Her image is cropped at the waist. Dr. Roman sports glasses, short, tightly waved hair, and a print dress. She holds an open notebook in her left hand and a pen or pencil in her right. At the top right, the name Dr. Vera C. Rubin also appears in green lettering. The image of Dr. Rubin s cropped above the waist. Wearing dark, shoulder-length hair and a plaid top, Dr. Rubin peers through the eyepiece of a large telescope. Holding the extension of the eyepiece with both hands, she brings the eyepiece to her right eye and closes her left eye as if to focus.
