Excerpt from artist’s Impact Statement: "Cecilia Payne caught my eye because the idea that a fact we take for granted (the sun mainly consisting of hydrogen and helium) used to be so contested intrigued me. Cecilia Payne wrote a PhD thesis on the contents of the stars, arguing that they were made of hydrogen and helium, rather than elements found in the earth’s crust."
