An incredible picture book biography about how the trailblazing astronomer found her people--and figured out what stars are made of. Cecilia Payne loved learning to see nature's wonders, even things other people called impossible. While studying at Cambridge, she dreamed of becoming a great astronomer like the ones she read about in the library. But too many people thought women didn't belong among stars or atoms.

What if they showed Cecilia something all the great astronomers called impossible?With stellar gouache and watercolor art and thrilling scientific details, this biography is a loving tribute to the joy of curiosity, th
