Happy Birthday, Andrea! You've spent your career boldly peering into the darkest corners of our galaxy—talk about taking "stargazing" to a whole new level. Thanks to you, black holes aren't just mysterious cosmic vacuums anymore; they're fascinating celestial celebrities we've all come to admire.From being named among Discover Magazine's top 20 scientists for your groundbreaking insights into galactic centers, you've illuminated our understanding of the universe (ironically by studying something that swallows light). Here's wishing you another stellar year ahead filled with discoveries—and may none of them involve accidentally falling into any black holes yourself. Cheers!
