Book Launch Party!
My family, friends, and colleagues, both near and far, came to a book launch party that my husband hosted in the beautiful library at the Yale Club of New York City. What a fabulous evening — the buzz, the food, the wine! So much joy was packed into one room. Geoff Marcy, the astronomer in my book, flew in from Berkeley, CA to help celebrate, and my editor, Andy Boyles, and his wife drove from Pennsylvania. Geoff gave a fascinating presentation on planet hunting and the Kepler Mission, a space telescope launched in March 2009, which is already detecting new extrasolar planets. Here are some photos of the celebration:
