Today is also the birthday of Nancy Grace Roman, who was born #OTD on May 16, 1925. Roman was the first female executive at NASA and NASA's first Chief of Astronomy throughout the 1960s and 1970s. She created NASA's space astronomy program and is known to many as the "Mother of Hubble" for her foundational role in planning the Hubble Space Telescope. Throughout her career, Roman was also an active public speaker and educator, and an advocate for women in the sciences. She passed away on Christmas day in 2018. en.wikipedia.org/... Roman on solving puzzles - If you enjoy puzzles, science or engineering may be the field for you. Scientific research and engineering is a continuous series of solving puzzles. It is also a continuous process of learning new things, whether you discover them or study the work of others. x Happy Birthday to Dr. Nancy Grace Roman! Her curiosity about the universe, determination to study the stars, and drive to help us get there continues to inspire people today! Hear from some people whose lives Dr. Roman impacted. pic.twitter.com/MAI4NHBpce — Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope (@NASARoman) May 16, 2023 As is the tradition with these puzzles, there are no rules, but let’s resist the temptation to post the solution before midnight ET, esp. if you are an advanced player. Feel free to post hints but without giving away the game. Also, let’s be kind to each other, let’s welcome new players, show them the ropes and make it a joyful learning experience for everyone. Solutions are generally posted in the comments section after midnight, sometimes in the morning. Puzzles are posted on Sundays, Tuesdays and Thursdays by metzomagic, me and dkosdan resp. Please let us know if you want to volunteer for these posts — on a regular or an occasional basis.
