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 galleryβ¦Annie Jump Cannon is the name of this one. She is Dover Delawareβs most famous woman. She named all the stars and since our βsunβ 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 Annieβs life in Dover and at Harvard. She is truly amazing.
