Harianjogja.com, JAKARTA — A girl named Nicole Oliveira, 7, from Brazil has been named the youngest astronomer in the world. This young girl was named the youngest astronomer for having discovered seven asteroids.

He takes part in the asteroid search program run by the International Astronomical Search Collaboration and NASA.

Reported from techtime, Wednesday (28/7/2021) Oliveira’s initial interest in outer space and astronomy dates back a long time.

Precisely since the age of two years until now at the age of seven years.
