Do it.
This virtual play is based on the true story of astronomer Henrietta Leavitt, who started working at the Harvard Observatory in the early 1900s when she wasn’t even allowed to touch a telescope (or express an original idea).

Anthropocene is part of the Capture Photography Festival, on now through April 30.
