Discover the cosmos! Each day a different image or photograph of our fascinating universe
is featured, along with a brief explanation written by a professional astronomer.

Science is an attempt, largely successful, to understand the

world, to get a grip on things, to get hold of ourselves, to steer

a safe course. Microbiology and meteorology now explain what only

a few centuries ago was considered sufficient cause to burn women

to death." Carl Sagan, in The Demon-Haunted World.

Comment: Roger is one of my old friends, generally my timeless friends, were jelled by the Domicans,  burn to the stake or went into great trouble with the establishment!

The Galileo Project

The Galileo Project is a hypertext source of information on the life and work of Galileo Galilei (1564-1642) and the science of his time. The project is supported by the Office of the Vice President of Computing of Rice University. The initial stages were made possible by a grant from the Council on Library Resources to Fondren Library.

Those persons had contributed to the most incredible evolution  of the science during their life time. Opening the wonderful quest for the intelligence of the  Universe and the life.

The Emilio Segrè Visual Archives

A collection of some 25,000 historical photographs, slides, lithographs, engravings, and other visual materials, the Emilio Segrè Visual Archives is part of the Niels Bohr Library of the Center for History of Physics at the American Institute of Physics. The collection focuses on American physicists and astronomers of the twentieth century, but includes many scientists in Europe and elsewhere, in other fields related to physics, and in earlier times.

It is hard to believe that the neutron was not discovered until 1932, thirty years before Hiroshima!

In the 17th, 18th, and 19th centuries most women did not have access to institutions of higher learning and laboratories.

This exclusion effectively prevented women from contributing to progress in physics.

in the 20th century reasonable opportunities for doing physics began to be available to women.

Below is a brief historical account of women's education and access to higher learning in england and the united states in the 17th, 18th, and 19th centuries.
