Description
Discover the remarkable true story about the man who discovered the science of black holes and persisted in his theories against the disbelief of the scientific community in this nonfiction picture book perfect for fans of Counting the Stars and What Miss Mitchell Saw.

Subrahmanyan Chandrasekhar was a brilliant scientist with eyes fixed toward the stars. As a young man, he developed the theory that would eventually lead to the discovery of black holes. But when he presented his findings to the world's leading Western scientists, they scoffed at his ideas. Chandra knew he was right. But would anyone listen? Learn the true story of a relentless scientist and his cosmic discovery that had to wait for science to change its mind.
