MOLINE, ILLINOIS (April 12, 2019) — Downtown Moline’s Black Box Theatre presents the area premiere of "Silent Sky" by Laura Gunderson. "Silent Sky" is the true story of 19th-century astronomer Henrietta Leavitt as she explores a woman’s place in society during a time of immense scientific discoveries, when women’s ideas were dismissed until men claimed credit for them. Henrietta Leavitt and her female peers changed the way we understand both the heavens and Earth.
