Astronomer as main character? Sounds great! But no. Enter the ridiculous idea that an ambitious woman should feel guilty focusing on her work during what may be the most important week of her career. Spare me! Also, who watches for meteors amid all that light pollution - not just in town but on the mountain! Now to the positives: all the actors are pleasant, and there is some lovely scenery. There's promotion of girls in STEM and a nod to starting young. And the movie highlights the problem of poor support of national parks. Also alluded to: the knowledge, skill and importance of park rangers.
