"In celebration of the solar eclipse later this month, I am sharing
stories of amazing women in astronomy in my series of Guiding Stars in
Astronomy. Today's post shares the story of Scottish-American astronomer
Williamina Fleming, who went from being a single mother working as a
maid to one of the most proficient astronomers of the late-19th century."

Great story. In the right place at the right time!  Via Kee Hinckley.

Share and enjoy,
