Summary:
"The book tells the story of how Courtois and her cosmography colleagues discovered and mapped the Laniakea galactic supercluster, the first and most accurate description to date of our home galaxy's location in the universe. Courtois reveals the joys and challenges of international astronomy research and collaborations, humanizing the scientists along the way and making the science accessible. She also makes an effort to shed light on the life and work of herself and other women astronomers. It's a story that would appeal to a wide audience."--
