Thanks, J, for this fascinating account of a pioneering woman astronomer who reached the top of her profession! I do wonder how she managed to observe the heavens if neither she nor her students at Princeton were allowed outside after dark. Maybe she had an observatory installed in a women’s dormitory! I’m sure she managed to continue her work & teaching
