This popped up from two years ago. Probably because I spoke about #AnnieJumpCannon today. And we mentioned her naming-the-stars-system still being used and how amazed she would be with the photography from space today. #DoverDelaware #girldonegood We love our most famous Dover woman! #glassuniverse

My favorite astronomer is our Dover girl #AnnieJumpCannon. She is always my first choice for #Delaware #STEAM and #womenshistorymonth. #TheGlassUniverse is book by Dava Sobel who just wrote a book about #MarieCurie.

Art as shadow. All year long the shadow cast moves differently across my main gallery…Annie Jump Cannon is the name of this one. She is Dover Delaware’s most famous woman. She named all the stars and since our “sun” plays such a fun role each day in this room, all those interested in Astronomy, the stars, STEAM education, #womenshistorymonth should give our favorite Dover Daughter a gander. Annie is truly a delight to learn about. Also check out The Glass Universe by Dava Sobel to learn more about Annie’s life in Dover and at Harvard. She is truly amazing.

My main gallery room is named after #AnnieJumpCannon. She’s Dover’s most famous woman who few in town probably ever heard of. I advocate for many things & #history is #herstory as well. My #stellar s-hero—Annie’s star-naming system is still in use. Dava Sobel wrote #TheGlassUniverse #womenshistory

Remembering #AnnieJumpCannon
stellar performance in STEM
