SILENT SKY

Henrietta is nearly deaf, but the songs of the stars make beautiful music in her mind. Silent Sky tells the true story of Henrietta Leavitt, an astronomer ahead of her time. It is 1900 when Henrietta comes to work at Harvard University to become a human computer. She quickly learns that she will not be allowed to do any sort of astronomical discovery. Undeterred, Henrietta begins the process of recording the changes in Cepheid stars—a scientific discovery that has profound and lasting impact on the field of astronomy. Silent Sky is the true story of a woman’s dedication to her passion for the stars and the human touch that makes life under the vast sky tender, beautiful, and timeless.
