A nine-year-old girl sits in the lecture hall of the Munich Public Observatory. It’s about nuclear fission, radioactivity and dark matter. And about the women in the history of astrophysics who were important for these discoveries. Jana Steuer, 29, gives the lecture. The girl follows her words carefully. Can it understand all of this? In the end, the nine-year-old may not be able to explain how nuclear fission works. But she might have understood one thing: women in astrophysics are the exception, not the rule.
