OVERVIEW
This webite does Tell you about her early life. It has quotes that are used. Its cool seeing her quotes but its quite annoying to me. This website is just describing a speech she is giving about the universe. the whole website goes like this. Summary of vera then quote---describes quote. next quote and that happens a few times. this website is cool and kind of informative but i do not recommend it.

ACCURACY:
It gives specific information which is accurate about Vera Rubin. Tell what she did like " In the 1970s, astronomer Vera Rubin found evidence of a hypothetical type of invisible matter now called dark matter" Its very basic information so it hard to get wrong.

READABILITY and CLARITY:
The audience is anyone who really wants to know about her. i say this is about 12th grade reading level maybe even less. its very basic on what it has to say so its quite clear. it only starts to become difficult when you watch the videos or click the links.

EASE OF NAVIGATION:
its a simple page that barely scrolls up or down. its has links to other websites with great information.

OVERVIEW
This website starts off like the first website. It tells us about her early life and how she overcame the obstacles of being a woman who liked science in the 1950s.then it goes on her research on dark matter which is very interesting. Then it talks about how she worked with others like David Burstein. after working with people at ucsd thats when she felt like a real astronomer. finally it ends wither a personal life explanation.

ACCURACY:
The information is accurate. It has all of the information that were on the previous sites.There is nothing that stands out as false.

READABILITY and CLARITY:
the audience i feel like is a mix between people. first its informative where any 12th grader would understand. But then it goes into more complex wording when it talks about her research and dark matter which could go into college level of reading.

EASE OF NAVIGATION:
this website is straight forward and not at hard to use. no complexity what-so ever ---
