Thus ends Astronomy Day. I think it was pretty successful! Thanks to everyone who participating, and I hope this stirs up some participation for the next one!

Anonymous asked: In response to your post about Crick. Watson and Crick both use the research findings of Rosalind Franklin to discover the structure of DNA and nobody seems to remember that.
