Although she only lived to be twenty-nine, Wang Zhenyi wrote a lot of articles on astronomy, such as Theory of the Earth's Roundness. Not only did she study the research (研究) of others, but also she was able to do her own research. Wang's most famous experiment (实验) was done at her home in Nanjing. She placed a round table in a garden to be the Earth, and hung (悬挂) a lamp to be the sun. Then on one side of the table she had a round mirror as the moon.
