A toast to these great astronomers!
Read about Annie Jump Cannon, Henrietta Swan Leavitt, and Cecilia Payne-Gaposchkin
Wine and honoring women in science.
Cosmos doing science education right.I keep meaning to add, because no one seems to mention it: both Annie Jump Cannon and Henrietta Swan Leavitt were both Deaf.
I feel like it’s important to acknowledge that part of their histories, because I don’t often see folks talking about disability history wrt science stuffs (without having to look for it), and it’s even more rare to see it wrt women in science.
How cool a name is “Annie Jump Cannon” though
How’re you gonna not ever give credit to someone called Annie Jump Cannon
