Head in the sky: 8-year-old Brazilian girl dubbed world’s youngest astronomer


Fortaleza (Brazil) (AFP) – When Nicole Oliveira was just learning to walk, she would throw up her arms to reach for the stars in the sky. Today, at just 8 years of age, the Brazilian girl is known as the world’s youngest astronomer, looking for asteroids as part of a NASA-affiliated program, attending international seminars and meeting with her country’s top space and science figures.
