Black In Astro
Celebrating and amplifying the Black experience in space-related fields.
Black In Astro Feature:
The Representation of Blackness in Astronomy
The Black in Astro Community formed through a need for support and community amongst predominantly early-career Black people working in astronomy. In just two years, Black in Astro has grown to have members across the globe. Its founder and organizers explain how it came about.
Mission Statement
The goal of #BlackInAstro is to celebrate and amplify Black scientists and engineers within the space community. This space provides support, networking, and guidance.
