Podcasts about Annie Jump Cannon

Vom antiken Wissen über den Himmel bis zu den Rätseln der dunklen Materie – in dieser letzten Folge der Staffel werfen Susanne und Paul einen Blick auf die Pionierinnen der Himmelskunde. Welche Rollen spielten Frauen in der Geschichte der Astronomie – und warum kennt man ihre Namen oft kaum?Susanne bringt nicht nur ihre eigene Perspektive als Wissenschaftlerin ein, sondern nimmt uns mit auf eine faszinierende Zeitreise: Von der Forscherin Hypatia, die an der Bibliothek von Alexandria wirkte, über die Kometenjägerin Caroline Herschel bis hin zu Annie Jump Cannon und Cecilia Payne, deren bahnbrechende Erkenntnisse unser Verständnis der Sterne für immer verändert haben.Warum klassifizieren wir Sterne heute nach dem Schema „OBAFGKM“? Wie halfen Harvard-Forscherinnen, das Universum zu vermessen – und warum bekam eine von ihnen nie den verdienten Nobelpreis?Eine Folge voller erstaunlicher Lebenswege, wissenschaftlicher Durchbrüche – und einem klaren Appell: Astronomie ist für alle da. Außerdem: Ein Blick hinter die aktuellen Schlagzeilen – wird die Kleine Magellansche Wolke tatsächlich auseinandergerissen?Und noch ein Hinweis: Alle Fans unserer astronomischen Plauderrunden dürfen sich freuen. Am Donnerstag, 5. Juni 2025 um 19:30 Uhr gibt es Gemeinsam durch die Galaxis wieder live auf der Bühne im Planetarium Bochum! Freut euch auf eine interaktive Podcast-Show mit himmlischen Fragen, spannenden Antworten und musikalischen Einlagen.Tickets sind ab sofort erhältlich.

Sie war Sternensortiererin, bekam als erste Frau eine Ehrendoktorwürde in Oxford und nach ihr sind ein Asteroid und ein Mondkrater benannt: Die amerikanische Astronomin Annie Jump Cannon. Ihr Klassifizierungssystem für Sterne wurde am 9. Mai 1922 offiziell anerkannt und wird seither verwendet.

Wie haben Frauen die Astronomie revolutioniert - und warum kennt kaum jemand ihre Namen? In dieser Podcast-Episode werfen wir einen Blick auf eine oft vergessene, aber bedeutende Gruppe von Frauen in der Astronomie: die „Lady Computers“. Diese Frauen haben zwischen dem 17. und 20. Jahrhundert hochkomplexe Berechnungen durchgeführt und waren maßgeblich an der wissenschaftlichen Erforschung des Himmels beteiligt - allerdings meist unter prekären Arbeitsbedingungen, mit geringer Bezahlung und kaum Aufstiegschancen. Ohne ihre Arbeit wären viele astronomische Durchbrüche - von der Himmelskartierung bis zur Expansion des Universums - nicht möglich gewesen.

Stars are so hot right now. Annie Jump Cannon, Henriette Leavitt, Antonia Maury, Florence Cushman, Cecilia Payne and others began cataloging and manually classifying stars in the late 1800's - over 350,000 of them. During that time, two astronomers simultaneously discovered a pattern in all that data. Between 1911 and 1913, Danish astronomer Ejnar Hertzsprung and American astronomer Henry Norris Russel plotted the stars recorded by Cannon and her team, and placed them on a diagram - the axes of which were the spectral classes devised by Cannon on one side, and their luminosity on the other. The diagram beautiful illustrated that in the randomness of the stars observed in the universe there is a clear pattern into which all stars fall. The diagram helps bring understanding to the temperatures and colors, brightness, sizes, and even the ages and lifecycles of the stars. Over 100 years later the diagram still holds true, and is a tool used in science today.

If you have some spare time on your hands, you might want to spend it helping out astronomers. You can sift through pictures and other data to help scientists find what they're looking for. Projects include classifying stars and galaxies, searching for planets in other star systems, and many others. At least one project is preserving part of astronomical history. Project Phaedra is going through 2500 notebooks recorded in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The notebooks were kept by women working at Harvard College Observatory. Known as “computers,” the women pored over images taken by male astronomers, and made the tedious calculations needed to analyze the observations. Some of the women became astronomers in their own right, and made some of the most important contributions of the era. Annie Jump Cannon developed a new way to classify stars, and it's still in use today. Henrietta Swan Leavitt devised a way to measure the distances to other galaxies. And Cecilia Payne was the first to propose that stars are made mainly of hydrogen and helium.     Project Phaedra volunteers transcribe their notebooks. The logs include the women's calculations, notes about the glass plates they were examining, tables of data, and more. The project has been going on for several years, so many of the notebooks have been finished. But others remain — preserving an important era in the history of astronomy.  Script by Damond Benningfield Support McDonald Observatory

Wer Astronomie studiert, bekommt es mit der Buchstabenkombination O B A F G K M zu tun. Das sind die Spektralklassen der Sterne. O-Sterne sind blau und heiß, M-Sterne rot und kühl. Diese Klassifikation stammt von Annie Jump Cannon. Lorenzen, Dirkwww.deutschlandfunk.de, Sternzeit

Rose and Elliott look at what makes stars different from each other and how to classify them, as well as the work of the “Harvard computers” that made stellar classification possible. They look at stellar spectroscopy and black-body radiation, the colour of stars and find out just why it took so long to make the Harvard system of classifying stars. After all, how hard can it be?Find us at throughthetelescope.co.ukLinks relating to this episode:Annie Jump Cannon and stellar classification: https://princetonastronomy.com/2021/02/01/annie-jump-cannon-and-the-creation-of-stellar-classification/Music:"Nowhere Land" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 Licensehttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Get bonus content on Patreon Hosted on Acast.

La Calculadoras de Harvard o las Damas de Pickering, fueron un grupo de mujeres que trabajaron a finales del s. XIX y principios del XX en el Observatorio de Harvard, para realizar tareas de análisis y clasificación de fotografías de espectros estelares. Este grupo de mujeres, varias de ellas especialmente, amplió los conocimientos y descubrimientos dentro de la astronomía moderna. Hablaremos de Pickering, pero especialmente de Williamina Paton Fleming, Annie Jump Cannon, Henrietta Swan Leavitt, Antonia Maury y de Cecilia Payne-Gaposchkin.

When most people look at the glass plates preserved at Harvard College Observatory, they see black dots, smears, and smudges. Astronomers see a chance to learn how the stars, galaxies, and clouds those markings represent have changed over the past century or longer. And artists see the beauty of the universe and the hard work of the women who analyzed the plates. The original plates are negatives — they show the stars in black and the background sky in white. At Harvard, women “computers” marked and labeled the astronomical objects in the images. They also measured the brightness of those objects and made many other notations. The plates have been scanned to make it easier for astronomers to find them. As part of that process, the hand-made notations were erased, although all of the plates were photographed first, and some of the originals have been preserved. To commemorate the work of the women computers, artist Erika Blumenfeld created “Tracing Luminaries.” It's a set of six prints. She erased the stars, leaving only the written notations, which were hand-layered with 24-karat gold. Lia Halloran interpreted the plates themselves in “Your Body is a Space that Sees.” It's a series of prints depicting comets, galaxies, and other objects. The titles include the names of the women computers, including Henrietta Leavitt and Annie Jump Cannon — two of the most important astronomers of the 20th century.  Script by Damond Benningfield Support McDonald Observatory

Hasta hace poco más de cien años, lo único que sabíamos de las estrellas es que eran puntos en el cielo de diferentes brillos y colores. Para unas pocas (apenas un centenar) conocíamos también su distancia a la Tierra, gracias al paralaje, pero del resto no sabíamos prácticamente nada. Todo esto cambió en los primeros años del siglo XX con el trabajo de Edward Pickering y su gabinete de asistentes, las calculadoras de Harvard. Se trataba de mujeres especialmente entrenadas para el análisis de fotografías astronómicas, y una de ellas fue la que diseñó la moderna clasificación de las estrellas a partir de su luz. Annie Jump Cannon se dio cuenta de que había una relación directa entre la temperatura exterior de una estrella y las líneas oscuras en su espectro, y merced a esta relación propuso clasificar las estrellas en siete grupos: O, B, A, F, G, K y M, donde las O son estrellas calientes y azules y las M son rojas y frías. Su método revolucionó la astronomía y abrió la ventana a entender la composición y la evolución de las estrellas. Hoy os contamos su historia, os explicamos qué es un espectro y cómo se obtiene y os hablamos de cómo los espectros nos permiten obtener información sobre objetos muy lejanos, como las estrellas. Para ello contamos con la ayuda de Alberto Fernández Soto, investigador en el Instituto de Física de Cantabria y experto en espectros de galaxias. Además de esto también dedicamos un rato a responder a dos de vuestras preguntas: una sobre el color del cielo en la Luna y otra sobre la diferencia entre ADN y ARN. Si queréis enviarnos alguna consulta lo podéis hacer a través de un mensaje de Whatsapp al +34 609 83 10 34. Podéis aprender más sobre estrellas y cómo su color nos informa sobre sus propiedades en el episodio s01e07. Y si queréis saber qué pasa cuando una estrella es "más roja que el rojo", en el capítulo s01e37 os hablamos de enanas marrones, los objetos intermedios entre estrella y planeta. Este programa se emitió originalmente el 19 de mayo de 2022. Podéis escuchar el resto de audios de Más de Uno en la app de Onda Cero y en su web, ondacero.es

Thanks to a special listener suggestion, the ladies are covering a pair of ladies who were deaf or hard of hearing! First, Emily tells the story of early feminist nun, Sister Teresa de Cartagena who used her sudden deafness to better hear God and God told her to SLAY. Then, Kelley fulfills her destiny and covers famed astronomer Annie Jump Cannon who broke down gender barriers in science while categorizing over 400,000 celestial bodies (no big deal.) Brush up on your biblical badasses and aim for the stars because we're wining about herstory!Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/winingaboutherstory/overview)

She was born on December 11, 1865 in Dover, Delaware. Her parents were Wilson Cannon and Mary Jump. Her father was a shipbuilder and also a state senator, and her mother is the one who got her interested in astronomy and mathematics. She attended what will later be known as Wesley College in Delaware, and then transferred to Wellesley College in Massachusetts. That's not confusing or anything, is it?   We've added a new way to donate to 365 Days of Astronomy to support editing, hosting, and production costs.

Sharon is joined by Quigley and Alex Goode, professional content creators and founders of Soulcial Media, to learn about a legend in astronomy, Annie Jump Cannon. Born on the eve of the women's suffrage movement, Annie Jump Cannon was an American astronomer and pioneer of star classification who acquired a college education and made a career for herself in a society that discouraged both of which. Known as the “Census Taker of the Sky,” Annie is most well-known for developing a star cataloging and classification system that astronomers still use today, known as the Harvard spectral classification system. Born and raised in Delaware, today Annie is considered Delaware's contribution to American innovation, she has been inducted into the Royal Astronomical Society, and the asteroid 1120 Cannonia is named in her honor. Annie Jump Cannon is an example of what can happen when your gifts and passions align.

Conway used his love of games to connect with children, spending time at math camps across the country. He passed away from complications from COVID-19 at the age of 82 in New Brunswick, New Jersey.12 April 2020 – Sir Stirling Moss, F1 driver known as one of the best behind the wheel, passes away - https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/obituaries/stirling-moss-f1-driver-known-as-one-of-the-best-behind-the-wheel-dies-at-90/2020/04/12/91f03b9c-7cd3-11ea-9040-68981f488eed_story.htmlSir Stirling Craufurd Moss, a British Formula One racing driver. An inductee into the International Motorsports Hall of Fame, he won 212 of the 529 races he entered across several categories of competition and has been described as "the greatest driver never to win the World Championship". Mr. Moss was known in his sport as “Mr. Motor Racing.” Long after his retirement, he was also considered a British national treasure — a dashing gentleman racer who was chivalrous and always sportsmanlike to his competitors despite the cut and thrust of motor racing. He was knighted by Prince Charles, standing in for the queen, in 2000. Mr. Moss’s sportsmanship was perhaps most evident in 1958, when he could have won the world championship after taking the Portuguese Grand Prix in Porto in his British-made Vanwall racecar. His archrival, Mike Hawthorn, finished second, giving him a key six points, which would have clinched the world title. But Hawthorn, a fellow Englishman, was threatened with disqualification for pushing his stalled Ferrari back onto the track after a spin. His disqualification would have put Mr. Moss in the driver’s seat for the world title. But Mr. Moss told race officials that Hawthorn had pushed his Ferrari only on an off-the-track area and should not be disqualified. His intervention swayed the officials, who awarded Hawthorn second place, eventually enabling him to win the F1 world championship by a single point over Mr. Moss. He passed away from a long illness at the age of 90 in Mayfair, London.12 April 2020 – Tim Brooke Taylor, best known for his work on The Goodies and I'm Sorry I Haven't A Clue passes away - https://www.etonline.com/tim-brooke-taylor-the-goodies-star-dies-at-79-of-coronavirus-complications-144654Timothy Julian Brooke-Taylor, English comedian and actor. He was best known as a member of The Goodies, starring in the television series throughout the 1970s and picking up international recognition in Australia and New Zealand. He also appeared as an actor in various sitcoms, and was a panellist on I'm Sorry I Haven't a Clue for almost 50 years. In 2008, Brooke-Taylor was heard in the Doctor Who audio story The Zygon Who Fell To Earth, made by Big Finish Productions. Paul McGann played the Eighth Doctor, and Brooke-Taylor played the part of Mims, a Zygon taking the shape of a human. In 2011, Brooke-Taylor was appointed Officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE) during Queen Elizabeth II's Birthday Honors, for his services to entertainment. He passed away from complications from COVID-19 at the age of 79 in the United Kingdom.13 April 2020 – Rick May, who voiced Star Fox 64 and Team Fortress II passed away - https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-8216159/Rick-voiced-Star-Fox-64-Team-Fortress-II-characters-dies-79-coronavirus.htmlRick May, American voice actor and theatrical performer, director, and teacher from Seattle, Washington. He began voice acting in video games in the late 1990s, including roles as Peppy Hare and Andross in Star Fox 64, Peppy Hare might not be one of gaming's most famous characters, but May’s line in 1997's Star Fox 64 where he played Fox McCloud’s mentor is one of the most iconic lines in gaming history - so much so that even Google got in on the beloved meme. Go ahead, Google "Do a barrel roll". His other various campaign characters, include Genghis Khan, in Age of Empires II'; and Soldier in Team Fortress 2. He passed away from complications from COVID-19 at the age of 79 in Seattle,Washington.14 April 2020 – Pip Baker, one half of the Dr Who writing duo known as Pip and Jane Baker passes away - http://www.doctorwhonews.net/2020/04/pip-baker-died-2020.htmlPip Baker, along with his wife and writing partner Jane, was one of the best-known writers from the mid 80's era of Doctor Who, writing eleven episodes for the series. Together they created the Rani, a female Time Lord scientist who was brought to life so vividly by the late Kate O'Mara, as well a creating the companion Mel. The Bakers scripted or contributed to four serials for the programme in the 1980s: The Mark of the Rani, The Trial of a Time Lord, Parts 9–12 and 14 (also known as Terror of the Vervoids and The Ultimate Foe); and Time and the Rani. They have also written novelisations of these stories, as well as a Make Your Own Adventure With Doctor Who (Find Your Fate With Doctor Who in the United States) gamebook titled Race Against Time. Pip and Jane's audio story The Rani Reaps the Whirlwind featured the return of the Rani and was released in 2000. He passed away from complication from a fall at the age of 91 in the United Kingdom.Remembrances5 April 2020 – Honor Blackman - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honor_BlackmanEnglish actress, widely known for the roles of Cathy Gale in The Avengers, Bond girlPussy Galore in Goldfinger, Julia Daggett in Shalako and Hera in Jason and the Argonauts. She is also known for her role as Laura West in the ITV sitcom The Upper Hand. At 38, she was one of the oldest actresses to play a Bond girl, and was five years older than the star Sean Connery. Albert R. Broccoli said Blackman was cast opposite Sean Connery in the James Bond films based on her success in the British television series The Avengers. He knew that most American audiences would not have seen the programme. Broccoli said, "The Brits would love her because they knew her as Mrs. Gale, the Yanks would like her because she was so good, it was a perfect combination." She died from natural causes at the age of 94 in Lewes, Sussex.13 April 1938 – Grey Owl - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grey_OwlArchibald Stansfeld Belaney, commonly known as Grey Owl, was a British-born conservationist, fur trapper, and writer who pretended to be a First Nations person. While he achieved fame as a conservationist during his life, after his death the revelation that he was not Indigenous, along with other autobiographical fabrications, negatively affected his reputation. Belaney rose to prominence as a notable author and lecturer, primarily on environmental issues. In working with the National Parks Branch, Grey Owl became the subject of many films, and was established as the "'caretaker of park animals' at Riding Mountain National Park in Manitoba" in 1931. Together with his numerous articles, books, films and lectures, his views on conservation reached audiences beyond the borders of Canada. His conservation views largely focused on humans' negative impact on nature through their commodification of nature's resources for profits, and a need for humans to develop a respect for the natural world. Recognition of Belaney has included biographies, a historic plaque at his birthplace, and a 1999 biopic about his life by the director Richard Attenborough. He died from pneumonia at the age of 49 in Prince Albert, Saskatchewan.13 April 1941 – Annie Jump Cannon - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Annie_Jump_CannonAmerican astronomer whose cataloging work was instrumental in the development of contemporary stellar classification. With Edward C. Pickering, she is credited with the creation of the Harvard Classification Scheme, which was the first serious attempt to organize and classify stars based on their temperatures and spectral types. She was nearly deaf throughout her career. She was a suffragist and a member of the National Women's Party. Cannon manually classified more stars in a lifetime than anyone else, with a total of around 350,000 stars. She discovered 300 variable stars, five novas, and one spectroscopic binary, creating a bibliography that included about 200,000 references. She discovered her first star in 1898, though she was not able to confirm it until 1905. When she first started cataloging the stars, she was able to classify 1,000 stars in three years, but by 1913, she was able to work on 200 stars an hour. Cannon could classify three stars a minute just by looking at their spectral patterns and, if using a magnifying glass, could classify stars down to the ninth magnitude, around 16 times fainter than the human eye can see. Her work was also highly accurate. In 1925 she became the first woman to receive an honorary doctorate of science from Oxford University. In 1935, she created the Annie J. Cannon Prize for "the woman of any country, whose contributions to the science of astronomy are the most distinguished." She died from congestive heart failure at the age of 77 in Cambridge, Massachusetts.13 April 1944 - Cécile Chaminade - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C%C3%A9cile_ChaminadeFrench composer and pianist. In 1913, she was awarded the Légion d'Honneur, a first for a female composer. Ambroise Thomas said, "This is not a woman who composes, but a composer who is a woman." In 1908 she visited the United States, where she was accorded a hearty welcome. Her compositions were tremendous favorites with the American public, and such pieces as the Scarf Dance or the Ballet No. 1 were to be found in the music libraries of many lovers of piano music of the time. She composed a Konzertstück for piano and orchestra, the ballet music to Callirhoé and other orchestral works. Her songs, such as The Silver Ring and Ritournelle, were also great favorites. In London in November 1901, she made gramophone recordings of seven of her compositions for the Gramophone and Typewriter Company; these are among the most sought-after piano recordings by collectors, though they have been reissued on compact disk. Chaminade was relegated to obscurity for the second half of the 20th century, her piano pieces and songs mostly forgotten, with the Flute Concertino in D major, Op. 107, composed for the 1902 Paris Conservatoire Concours, her most popular piece today. Chaminade's music has been described as tuneful, highly accessible and mildly chromatic, and it may be regarded as bearing the typical characteristics of late-Romantic French music. She died at the age of 86 in Monte Carlo.Famous Birthdays13 April 1570 – Guy Fawkes - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guy_FawkesAlso known as Guido Fawkes while fighting for the Spanish, was a member of a group of provincial English Catholics who planned the failed Gunpowder Plot of 1605. Fawkes converted to Catholicism and left for mainland Europe, where he fought for Catholic Spain in the Eighty Years' War against Protestant Dutch reformers in the Low Countries. He travelled to Spain to seek support for a Catholic rebellion in England without success. He later met Thomas Wintour, with whom he returned to England. Wintour introduced him to Robert Catesby, who planned to assassinate King James I and restore a Catholic monarch to the throne. The plotters leased an undercroft beneath the House of Lords; Fawkes was placed in charge of the gunpowder which they stockpiled there. The authorities were prompted by an anonymous letter to search Westminster Palace during the early hours of 5 November, and they found Fawkes guarding the explosives. He was questioned and tortured over the next few days and confessed to wanting to blow up the House of Lords. He became synonymous with the Gunpowder Plot, the failure of which has been commemorated in the UK as Guy Fawkes Night since 5 November 1605, when his effigy is traditionally burned on a bonfire, commonly accompanied by fireworks. He was born in Stonegate, York.13 April 1892 - Robert Watson-Watt - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Watson-WattSir Robert Alexander Watson-Watt, Scottish pioneer of radio direction finding and radar technology. Watt began his career in radio physics with a job at the Met Office, where he began looking for accurate ways to track thunderstorms using the radio signals given off by lightning. This led to the 1920s development of a system later known as huff-duff. Huff-duff allowed operators to determine the location of an enemy radio in seconds and it became a major part of the network of systems that helped defeat the U-boat threat. It is estimated that huff-duff was used in about a quarter of all attacks on U-boats. In 1935 Watt was asked to comment on reports of a German death ray based on radio. Watt and his assistant Arnold Frederic Wilkins quickly determined it was not possible, but Wilkins suggested using radio signals to locate aircraft at long distances. This led to a February 1935 demonstration where signals from a BBC short-wave transmitter were bounced off a Handley Page Heyford aircraft. Watt led the development of a practical version of this device, which entered service in 1938 under the code name Chain Home. Watson-Watt justified his choice of a non-optimal frequency for his radar, with his often-quoted “cult of the imperfect,” which he stated as “Give them the third-best to go on with; the second-best comes too late, [and] the best never comes.” He was born in Brechin,Angus.13 April 1899 - Alfred Mosher Butts - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alfred_Mosher_ButtsAmerican architect, famous for inventing the board gameScrabble in 1938. In the early 1930s after working as an architect but now unemployed, Butts set out to design a board game. He studied existing games and found that games fell into three categories: number games such as dice and bingo; move games such as chess and checkers; and word games such as anagrams. Butts decided to create a game that utilized both chance and skill by combining elements of anagrams and crossword puzzles, a popular pastime of the 1920s. Players would draw seven lettered tiles from a pool and then attempt to form words from their seven letters. A key to the game was Butts' analysis of the English language. Butts studied the front page of The New York Times to calculate how frequently each letter of the alphabet was used. He then used each letter's frequency to determine how many of each letter he would include in the game. He included only four "S" tiles so that the ability to make words plural would not make the game too easy. Butts initially called the game "Lexiko", but later changed the name to "Criss Cross Words", after considering "It", and began to look for a buyer. The game makers he originally contacted rejected the idea, but Butts was tenacious. Eventually, he sold the rights to entrepreneur and game-lover James Brunot, who made a few minor adjustments to the design and renamed the game "Scrabble." To memorialize Butts's importance to the invention of the game, there is a street sign at 35th Avenue and 81st Street in Jackson Heights that is stylized using letters, with their values in Scrabble as a subscript. He was born in Poughkeepsie, New York.Events of Interest13 April 1953 – Project MKUltra begins - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_MKUltraProject MKUltra (or MK-Ultra), also called the CIA mind control program, is the code name given to a program of experiments on human subjects that were designed and undertaken by the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency, some of which were illegal. Experiments on humans were intended to identify and develop drugs and procedures to be used in interrogations in order to weaken the individual and force confessions through mind control. The project's intentionally obscure CIA cryptonym is made up of the digraph MK, meaning that the project was sponsored by the agency's Technical Services Staff, followed by the word Ultra which had previously been used to designate the most secret classification of World War II intelligence. Other related cryptonyms include Project MKNAOMI and Project MKDELTA. The project was organized through the Office of Scientific Intelligence of the CIA and coordinated with the United States Army Biological Warfare Laboratories. Code names for drug-related experiments were Project Bluebird and Project Artichoke. The program engaged in many illegal activities, including the use of U.S. and Canadian citizens as its unwitting test subjects, which led to controversy regarding its legitimacy. MKUltra used numerous methods to manipulate its subjects' mental states and brain functions. Techniques included the covert administration of high doses ofpsychoactive drugs (especially LSD) and other chemicals, electroshocks, hypnosis,sensory deprivation, isolation, verbal and sexual abuse, as well as other forms of torture. In December 2018, declassified documents included a letter to an unidentified doctor discussing work on six dogs made to run, turn and stop via remote control and brain implants.13 April 1970 - Apollo 13 oxygen tank explodes - https://www.history.com/this-day-in-history/apollo-13-oxygen-tank-explodesOn April 13, 1970, disaster strikes 200,000 miles from Earth when oxygen tank No. 2 blows up on Apollo 13, the third manned lunar landing mission. Astronauts James A. Lovell, John L. Swigert, and Fred W. Haise had left Earth two days before for the Fra Mauro highlands of the moon but were forced to turn their attention to simply making it home alive. Mission commander Lovell reported to mission control on Earth: “Houston, we’ve had a problem here,” and it was discovered that the normal supply of oxygen, electricity, light, and water had been disrupted. The landing mission was aborted, and the astronauts and controllers on Earth scrambled to come up with emergency procedures. The crippled spacecraft continued to the moon, circled it, and began a long, cold journey back to Earth. The astronauts and mission control were faced with enormous logistical problems in stabilizing the spacecraft and its air supply and providing enough energy to the damaged fuel cells to allow successful reentry into Earth’s atmosphere. Navigation was another problem, and Apollo 13‘s course was repeatedly corrected with dramatic and untested maneuvers. On April 17, with the world anxiously watching, tragedy turned to triumph as the Apollo 13 astronauts touched down safely in the Pacific Ocean.13 April 2017 - The US drops the largest ever non-nuclear weapon on Nangarhar Province,Afghanistan.- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GBU-43/B_MOAB- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2017_Nangarhar_airstrikeThe GBU-43/B Massive Ordnance Air Blast (commonly known as "Mother of All Bombs") is a large-yield bomb, developed for the United States military by Albert L. Weimorts, Jr. of the Air Force Research Laboratory. At the time of development, it was said to be the most powerful non-nuclear weapon in the American arsenal. The basic principle resembles that of the BLU-82 Daisy Cutter, which was used to clear heavily wooded areas in the Vietnam War. Pentagon officials suggested MOAB might be used as an anti-personnel weapon, as part of the "shock and awe" strategy integral to the 2003 invasion of Iraq. The MOAB is not a penetrator weapon and is primarily intended for soft to medium surface targets covering extended areas and targets in a contained environment such as a deep canyon or within a cave system. The MOAB was first dropped in combat in the 13 April 2017 airstrike against an Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant – Khorasan Province (ISIS) tunnel complex in Achin District, Afghanistan. Casualty figures were initially reported as 36 but increased over the following days as reconnaissance units investigated the site. On 18 April 2017, one senior Afghan security official said the bomb killed 96 Islamic State militants, among them 13 major commanders. Stars and Stripes reported that General Dawlat Waziri, spokesman for Afghanistan's Defense Ministry said that since the strike, the offensive operation in the area was resumed. An Afghan officer also said that trees 100 metres from the impact point had remained standing.Follow us onFacebook- Page - https://www.facebook.com/NerdsAmalgamated/- Group - https://www.facebook.com/groups/440485136816406/Twitter - https://twitter.com/NAmalgamatedSpotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/6Nux69rftdBeeEXwD8GXrSiTunes - https://itunes.apple.com/au/podcast/top-shelf-nerds/id1347661094RSS - http://www.thatsnotcanonproductions.com/topshelfnerdspodcast?format=rssInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/nerds_amalgamated/General EnquiriesEmail - Nerds.Amalgamated@gmail.comRate & Review us on Podchaser - https://www.podchaser.com/podcasts/nerds-amalgamated-623195

Annie Jump Cannon and Henrietta Swan Leavitt would form the core of the calculation staff at the Harvard College Observatory for nearly two decades.  They oversaw the transition of the Observatory from the directorship of Edward Charles Pickering to Harlow Shapley and established the dominant classification systems and physical laws for stellar spectra and variable stars in the early 20th century that would lead to foundational discoveries in the fields of astronomy and astrophysics.

This week we take an in-depth look at the work done at the Harvard College Observatory on cataloging and classifying variable stars under the direction of Charles Edward Pickering.  We examine the contributions of Williamina Fleming, Annie Jump Cannon and Henrietta Swan Leavitt that resulted in the the period luminosity relationship, also known as Leavitt's Law.

Second in a two-part series about stars and how we classify them. Beginning with the lifecycle of stars, which is what classifying stars is all about, I then talk about the various ways we've chosen to interpret observational data on stars, from observing the bright sky-dots to evaluating how bright they are by comparing them to each other, and all the new things we can do with CCD imaging. Hear about pre- and post-telescope star catalogs and especially hear about Annie Jump Cannon and how she formed the basis for the star catalog standard we use today.

This week we look at the spectral classification work of Antonia Maury and Annie Jump Cannon at the Harvard College Observatory.

All of these topics relate to massive stars - stars that are more than eight time more massive than our Sun.  Dr. Levesque is a postdoctoral Hubble fellowship and Einstein fellowship researcher at the University of Colorado at Boulder. She received a physics degree from MIT, and a PhD in astronomy from the University of Hawaii, which resulted in the Astronomical Society of the Pacific awarding her the Robert J. Trumpler award for outstanding PhD thesis, and this year she was awarded the Annie Jump Cannon award by the American Astronomical Society for her work studying gamma-ray bursts. Dr. Levesque, is here in the studio with us today to talk about her favorite weird astrophysical phenomena and the life of an observational astronomer.
