More than two centuries before Einstein, using a crude telescope and a mechanical timepiece, Dutch astronomer Ole Romer measured the speed of light with astounding accuracy. How was he able to do this when most scientists didn’t even believe that light traveled? 

When Laura—a.k.a. Masterpiece Robot—heads into the backyard with her little sister Molly—a.k.a. Sidekick—her active imagination places them instead on patrol around the perimeter of a dystopian city, guarding against supervillains. Then older sister Amber—a.k.a. Valerie Knick Knack—throws handfuls of fallen leaves at them, unknowingly initiating a battle for the ages.  masterpiecerobot.com
