Susan Murabana Owen
Early Life
Susan grew up in Kenya. She studied economics and sociology at University. She also has a Master’s degree in Astronomy.
Susan thinks every child should have the chance to look through a telescope. There are very few astronomers in Kenya. There was also no access to a planetarium when Susan grew up. This made it tough for children to have a go at using a telescope. Many would not know they could do astronomy as a hobby or choose it as a job.
