Avidly, she observed the trails, roads, and water pathways traversing planet Earth; but her mind always wandered higher, toward the night sky. What would a map of \"out there,\" beyond the moon, look like? The question traveled with her to university, where curious Hélène--often the only woman in her science classes--learned to map the compositions of galaxies. Numbers swam with the stars in her brain, and after years of wonder and experimentation, Hélène and her team make a dazzling discovery--a supercluster of galaxies they name Laniakea, home to our very own Milky Way. With fascinating back matter, illustrations that shine on the page, and a lyrical text written in consultation with astrophysicist Hélène Courtois--who continues to illuminate our view of the cosmic landscape--this portrait of a contemporary female scientist will light up young minds and inspire future sky gazers and galaxy mappers to look up and dream large.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Allie Summers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1536228974\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781536228977\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Mit Kids Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/18\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 48\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.25lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eSchool Library Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/01\/2025 pg. 101","brand":"Allie Summers","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46962158764287,"sku":"9781536228977","price":18.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_5c423154-02b3-4ded-bf17-c2581be5359f.jpg?v=1750649497","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/galaxy-mapper-allie-summers-9781536228977","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
