Very sad news to wake up to this morning with the Very sad news to wake up to this morning with the passing of Nichelle Nichols. Thank you so much for inspiring so many people to love space, and to be a part of the space and astronomy community as Lieutenant Nyota Uhura. You with Gene Rodenberry helped make such great strides in race relations in the US. Hopefully, your spirit is now exploring the final frontier. Live Long and Prosper Nichelle. #Perth #WA #spacenews #space #astronomynews #astronomy #perthnews #wanews #communitynews #westernaustralia #perthlife #perthhappenings #rip #love #restinpeace #missyou #forever #startrek #NichelleNichols #NyotaUhura #trekkie #scifi #startrektos #starfleet #startrekfan #startrekkers #livelongandprosper #sciencefiction #perthobservatory #perthobs
