  • Astronomy is second only to biology in the proportion of women scientists. Some that come to mind are Cecilia Payne-Gaposchkin, Helen Sawyer Hogg, and Dorrit Hoffleit, all of whom I happen to have met personally. The links are excellent resources on the subject.

    You can't have searched very hard...I came up with these three in a couple of seconds!


  • Henrietta Leavitt discovered a relationship between the period of variable stars and their brightness. This allows us to determine the distance to nearby galaxies.
