Nancy Grace Roman: NASA’s First Chief Astronomer

南希·格雷斯·罗曼(1925-2018)，美国宇航局第一位首席天文学家，被称为“哈勃之母”。在一个女性不愿学习数学和科学的时代，罗曼博士成为了一名研究型天文学家，并帮助哈勃太空望远镜从一个想法变成了现实，建立了NASA的太空天文台项目。

Nancy Grace Roman (1925-2018), NASA’s first chief astronomer, is known as the ‘Mother of Hubble.’ In a time when women were discouraged from studying math and science, Dr. Roman became a research astronomer and was instrumental in taking the Hubble Space Telescope from an idea to reality and establishing NASA’s program of space-based astronomical observatories.
