Why We Love It
“One of the biggest things Professor Raman Prinja wants to emphasize about Wonders of the Night Sky specifically, is that it’s his way of extending an invitation to astronomy to children in all life circumstances. Prinja takes very seriously his role as an immigrant man of color at the top of his field to help spark the fire in the next generation of explorers, wherever they may get their start!”
—Lindsay B., Editor-in-Chief, on Wonders of the Night Sky
