Henrietta Leavitt war am Harvard College Observatory lediglich „Computer". Frauen durften vor rund 100 Jahren nur die Beobachtungsdaten männlicher Kollegen auswerten. Dabei gelang ihr eine der bis heute wichtigsten Entdeckungen der Astrophysik.Lorenzen, Dirkwww.deutschlandfunk.de, SternzeitDirekter Link zur Audiodatei
How big is the universe? And how do we know? It's a question that puzzled astronomers for centuries. They had no way to measure distance in space - until Henrietta Leavitt showed them how. Henrietta Leavitt was a "computer" in the 19th century, before there were computers, and she made an incredible discovery that would help change the way people thought about the universe - forever. Modern-day astronomer Karen Masters helps us tell her remarkable story. If you like this episode, you'll love our free audio course, "Cataloging the Universe" where you'll learn much more about how Henrietta Leavitt's discovery made a big difference in astronomy - plus, you'll become a skywatcher yourself! "Cataloging the Universe" is more than a podcast. It's interactive! Each episode - or lesson - in the series contains activities to complete while you listen. Plus, you'll get discussion questions, graphic organizers, and a star journal to keep your observations in. Check out the series and download all the resources at our website!

In the early 1900s, Henrietta Leavitt made one of the most important discoveries in the history of astronomy: a yardstick to measure distances to faraway stars. Using this tool, scientists eventually transformed our understanding of the universe. They realized space was expanding, that this expansion was accelerating, and that ultimately, everything will end. This episode originally ran on June 30, 2021.

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.

Duluth singer-songwriter Breanne Tepler of Breanne Marie and the Front Porch Sinners is digging the new album by Matthew French, who is based in Minneapolis. The album is called “Two Sides,” and French digitally released the first five songs as “Side 1” at the end of January. The songs take on themes arising from the pandemic. Tepler singles out the song “Still Got a Heart” for its call to kindness and civility amid polarized politics. “There's just something really comforting and exciting at the same time about his music, his voice and the way he plays his guitar,” said Tepler. Don't see video? Click here. The digital launch of “Side 1,” hosted by Sarah Morris, is viewable on YouTube. “Side 2” is coming at a future date. Visual artist Alison Price of Minneapolis admires the bold colors and geometric patterning in the works of Sheri Grube, a mechanical engineer-turned-painter. Grube lives with dystonia, a chronic neurological disorder that can cause muscles to contract and twist involuntarily. She turns to painting as a way to calm her tremors. Price says the fine details of Grube's paintings as well as her “inverted” colors, magenta trees and green skies turn flowers and landscapes into something new on the canvas.

Grube's exhibit, “An Affair of the Heart,” is on display at the Hastings Art Center through the end of March. Science fiction writer Rayson Lorrey of Rochester loves the theater, and he's looking forward to an upcoming play at the Rochester Repertory Theatre about one of the great contributors to astronomy. “Silent Sky” by Lauren Gunderson tells the story of Henrietta Leavitt, whose work at Harvard University in the early 1900s helped astronomers realize how vast the universe is. Leavitt's discoveries created a standard measurement for determining the distance to other galaxies. Director Philip Muehe joined the Repertory Theatre last fall from the Commonweal in Lanesboro, Minn., which staged the play in 2018. Lorrey likes the simple set that allows the strong story to shine. At times it appears the actors are walking on the night sky. “Silent Sky” opens March 4 and runs through March 20.
Stéphane Bern et Matthieu Noël, entourés de leurs chroniqueurs historiquement drôles et parfaitement informés, s'amusent avec l'Histoire – la grande, la petite, la moyenne… - et retracent les destins extraordinaires de personnalités qui n'auraient jamais pu se croiser, pour deux heures où le savoir et l'humour avancent main dans la main. Aujourd'hui, Henrietta Leavitt.
Historiquement Vôtre réunit 3 dames qui ont la tête dans les étoiles : Henrietta Leavitt (1868-1921), une scientifique qui a révolutionné l'astronomie et qui, à force d'observer les étoiles, a découvert au début du XXème siècle, comment mesurer leur distance par rapport à la Terre. Puis, bien avant elle, Caroline Herschel (1750-1848), une «noble et digne prêtresse des cieux nouveaux», comme on l'a gratifiée à l'époque, ou le destin peu connu d'une astronome qui fut la première à découvrir un astre jusque-là jamais observé : une comète ! Et une femme moins à des années lumières qui, elle, lit dans les étoiles : Élizabeth Teissier.
In the second episode of season two of History's Forgotten, seniors Christi Norris, Amanda Hare and Caleb Audia discuss women in astronomy in the late 1800s and early 1900s. In the Harvard Observatory, women were hired to work as "computers" who organized data. Two women, Annie Cannon and Henrietta Leavitt, were able to make substantial achievements. Cannon came up with a system to classify stars that's still used today and Leavitt discovered Cepheid variable stars which can be used to find the distances of other stars and galaxies. Topics Covered: Annie Cannon Henrietta Leavitt Charles Pickering Harvard Observatory

“Unexplainable is a science show about everything we don't know, looking at the most fascinating unanswered questions in science and the mind-bending ways scientists are trying to answer them.”Dark Energy – what the heck is it? And what about UFOs – surely there's some kind of analysis available that can shed some light on those mysterious objects in the sky?Well, disappointingly, there is no definitive understanding of what either of these is – just a lot of speculation, ongoing research and, often, a lot of bad science.Thankfully, Unexplainable is here to unravel the key elements behind these mysteries and many others, as much it can.The Vox Media-run podcast is informative, entertaining and extremely thought-provoking. It has tackled the aforementioned subjects alongside others as varied as establishing the height of Mount Everest, planet-hunting, why placebos work and the length of human life.Heavy stuff – but riveting and worth every minute of a listen.In this episode of MetaPod we speak with Brian Resnick, co-creator of Unexplainable and Vox's science reporter.We wallow in the smartness of our guest and try to pick apart some of the topics in the Unexplainable portfolio of shows, as well as asking why does the internet need another podcast about science.If you listen to Unexplainable, you'll soon know why.

They were pioneers in their fields, yet their names are scarcely known – because they didn't have a Y chromosome. We examine the accomplishments of two women who pioneered code breaking and astronomy during the early years of the twentieth century and did so in the face of social opprobrium and a frequently hostile work environment. Henrietta Leavitt measured the brightnesses of thousands of stars and discovered a way to gauge the distances to galaxies, a development that soon led to the concept of the Big Bang. Elizabeth Friedman, originally hired to test whether William Shakespeare really wrote his plays, was soon establishing the science of code breaking, essential to success in the two world wars.

The GREATEST Debate: How two astronomers changed the way humanity debates By April 1920, the Spanish flu had claimed 50,000,000 lives. The first World War ended only 17 months earlier. A polarizing presidential election was underway. On April 26, 1920, in Washington DC, two contestants took the stage in a debate that would alter the cosmos forever. Was this contest the 1920 presidential debate? No, this battle was literally for universal domination, not a mere skirmish between presidential contenders Warren Harding and James Cox. Only the wonkiest history buffs recall who won 1920’s presidential debates. But every astronomer knows the two scientists sparring on that April evening at the Smithsonian Museum of Natural History, taking sides in astronomy’s “Great Debate”: Heber Curtis, director of the Allegheny Observatory, versus Mt. Wilson Observatory astronomer Harlow Shapley. The Debate’s outcome could not have been more consequential; the span of the entire universe was at stake. This epic contest concerned the nature of the so-called “spiral nebulae” that had vexed astronomers since Lord Rosse first pointed his 54-foot long telescope, appropriately nicknamed ’the Leviathan’, toward the heavens in 1845. Seventy-five years later, Shapley claimed these diaphanous swirls of light were our neighbors within the Milky Way, a mere hundred or so light years away. Curtis contended that some of these smudges were galaxies in their own right, assemblies of hundreds of billions of stars. If Curtis was right, these ’nebulae’ resided at truly astronomical distances from Earth. Curtis and Shapley decorously dealt philosophical punches. No mute buttons were needed. But lacking physical evidence, the Great Debate ended in a draw. The runoff would put the aftermath of the 2000 presidential election, and its ‘hanging chads’, to shame. It took over three years until Edwin Hubble discovered a curious cosmic beacon on the outskirts of the “Great Spiral Nebula” in Andromeda. This luminary, a class of star known as a Cepheid variable, periodically waxed and waned in brightness about twice per week. Years earlier, the brilliant astronomer Henrietta Leavitt showed that the rate at which Cepheid stars pulsated could be used as a sort of “cosmic ruler”, surveying distances far beyond Earth. Applying Leavitt’s Law (as we now call it), Hubble determined the Andromeda “nebula” was incomprehensibly distant—2,540,000 light-years to be exact. The Milky Way was large, but its diameter was known to be less than 10 percent of that vast span. Andromeda was not in our galaxy, it was a galaxy, hosting 100 billion or more suns of its own. The Great Debate was settled. Shapley lost, but was humble in defeat, encouraging Hubble to widely publicize his findings. It wasn’t only the distance to the Andromeda galaxy that had grown, humanity’s perspective was forever broadened, tempered with newfound humility amidst the vastness of intergalactic space. Today, instruments like the Hubble Space Telescope, celebrating its 30th anniversary, have magnified the Great Debate’s significance, revealing that the Milky Way and Andromeda are two of as many as two trillion galaxies. What future debates will be waged in astronomy’s next century, using instruments (costing a mere fraction of modern presidential campaigns), such as the Simons Observatory, the Vera Rubin Observatory, the Xenon Dark Matter Project, and more? Will we learn that dark matter is a mysterious new particle or the effect of an unknown new force? Will we spot life on exoplanets, or discover that we truly are alone in the cosmos? Perhaps we will even find evidence that ours is not the only universe—just some of modern astronomy’s “Great Debates.” One of the most refreshing aspects of astronomy is that it is inherently apolitical. There are no Democratic comets, no Republican asteroids. Pe Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
It may come as a surprise to discover that in the 2019-2020 season, (Shakespeare aside) Lauren Gunderson is the most produced playwright in America. She's achieved this in no small part by putting women's stories at the center of her work. And she doesn't just create the lone female protagonist—she has women interacting with other women-- sharing dreams, hopes, disappointments and successes. Her protagonists who are smart, funny, and determined and if they're involved with science—so much the better. Science is a topic Gunderson returns to again and again in her work. As Lauren said in our interview, “I think theater is made for the biggest questions we can manage, and science like religion, like the arts-- is the thing that says, “What are we doing here?” That literally was the question at the center of her play Silent Sky that was recently produced at Fords' Theater in Washington DC (and partially funded by the NEA). Silent Sky is based on a turn of the century astronomer named Henrietta Leavitt, who worked at the Harvard Observatory. Although she is little-known, Leavitt's work and discoveries are crucial to our current understanding of the stars and the universe. In this podcast, Lauren talks about Silent Sky, her adaption of Peter Pan (in which Wendy is an aspiring scientist), her love of theater and science, and most crucially, what changes when women take the center stage.

And she doesn’t just create the lone female protagonist—she has women interacting with other women-- sharing dreams, hopes, disappointments and successes. Her protagonists who are smart, funny, and determined and if they’re involved with science—so much the better. Science is a topic Gunderson returns to again and again in her work. As Lauren said in our interview, “I think theater is made for the biggest questions we can manage, and science like religion, like the arts-- is the thing that says, “What are we doing here?” That literally was the question at the center of her play Silent Sky that was recently produced at Fords’ Theater in Washington DC (and partially funded by the NEA). Silent Sky is based on a turn of the century astronomer named Henrietta Leavitt, who worked at the Harvard Observatory. Although she is little-known, Leavitt’s work and discoveries are crucial to our current understanding of the stars and the universe. In this podcast, Lauren talks about Silent Sky, her adaption of Peter Pan (in which Wendy is an aspiring scientist), her love of theater and science, and most crucially, what changes when women take the center stage.

They were pioneers in their fields, yet their names are scarcely known – because they didn't have a Y chromosome. We examine the accomplishments of two women who pioneered code breaking and astronomy during the early years of the twentieth century and did so in the face of social opprobrium and a frequently hostile work environment. Henrietta Leavitt measured the brightnesses of thousands of stars and discovered a way to gauge the distances to galaxies, a development that soon led to the concept of the Big Bang. Elizabeth Friedman, originally hired to test whether William Shakespeare really wrote his plays, was soon establishing the science of code breaking, essential to success in the two world wars. Also, the tech industry is overwhelmingly male. Girls Who Code is an initiative to redress the balance by introducing girls to computer programming, and encouraging them to follow careers in tech. Guests: Jason Fagone – Author of “The Woman Who Smashed Codes: A True Story of Love, Spies, and the Unlikely Heroine Who Outwitted America's Enemies” Lauren Gunderson – Playwright of Silent Sky, which is being performed all over the world, form the First Folio Theatre to the Repertory Philippines Reshma Saujani – Founder and CEO of Girls Who Code, and the author of "Brave, Not Perfect: Fear Less, Fail More, and Live Bolder” Learn more about your ad choices.

Much of post 1920s astronomy rests on her shoulders. Without her, we wouldn’t have a three-dimensional sky. Leavitt’s Law allowed us to measure distances in other galaxies as early as 1912. But how many people have ever heard of Henrietta Leavitt? We wanted to know about this ‘hidden woman’ of astronomy, so in this episode of the Big Questions podcast we ask Dr Becky Smethurst from the University of Oxford’s Department of Physics “Who was Henrietta Leavitt?”.
UW-Parkside theater professor Jennifer Sassaman talks about the school's production of the play "Silent Sky," which is inspired by the real life story of 19th century astronomer Henrietta Leavitt. The production's final performances are this weekend.
A behind the scenes look into American Stage's production of SILENT SKY by Lauren Gunderson. We are joined by director, Kristin Clippard, Sherri Smith-Dodgeson of Miss Science, and Tanja Diederich of Starsplitter Adventures as we discuss the intricate themes of the show and the incredible impact of Henrietta Leavitt's discovers on the world.

“The true story of 19th-century astronomer Henrietta Leavitt, Silent Sky explores a woman's place in society during a time of immense scientific discoveries, when women's ideas were dismissed until men claimed credit for them. Social progress, like scientific progress, can be hard to see when one is trapped among earthly complications. Henrietta Leavitt and her female peers believe in both, and their dedication changed the way we understand both the heavens and Earth. Silent Sky is the poignant tale of a woman's dedication to the stars and the human touch that makes life under the cast sky beautiful and timeless. It is a beautiful and insightful piece of theatre.” Featured Tunes: Northern Star by Fortunate Ones Starlight by Muse I See Gold by The Good Lovelies There's a Star For Everyone by Aretha Franklin
Born in 1868, Henrietta Leavitt was an astronomer ahead of her time, whose work helped to revolutionise our understanding of the Universe. While working at Harvard Observatory, she began to study stars of fluctuating brightness. She made a crucial observation about these objects, which gave astronomers a new way to measure distances, ultimately leading to such impactful discoveries as the expansion of the Universe.

Two plays based on real happenings from the first half of the twentieth century have recently opened in the North Bay. One is new, the work of an up-and-coming young playwright from San Francisco. The other is an American classic. Each production is worthy of attention. At 6th Street Playhouse, in Santa Rosa, Lauren Gunderson’s enthralling and lovely Silent Sky tells the story of Henrietta Swan Leavitt, a pioneering astronomer whose passion for the stars put her at odds with her devout sister and the male-dominated scientific community within which she worked at Harvard University. Henrietta Leavitt lived from the mid 1800’s to the early 1920s. The play focuses on her years at Harvard. As a “computer” – the name given to female clerks responsible for charting the skies— Leavitt initially bristles to learn that the male professors will get credit for any discoveries made by her and the other “computers.” Eventually, despite the confusing attentions of her male supervisor, Leavitt defies authority in studying a star pattern that might actually contain a clue to the size and scope of the universe. As Henrietta, Jessica Headington is wonderful, a blend of the smart and the sweet. Juliet Noonan plays her sister Margaret, and an effectively stiff and quirky Devin McConnell plays Peter. As the two other “computers,” Willamina and Annie, Laura J. Davies and Maureen Studer are a hoot. Directed with affection and humor by Lennie Dean, Gunderson’s prose is lean, inventive, and captivating, turning the language of science into the stuff of pure poetry. An impressive light design by April George adds to the magic, from the dangling antique light bulbs that stand in for stars, up to the stunning final effect that puts the audience at the center of the universe. The play is not without a few flaws. Its pace slacks in act two, and there are a few moments throughout when the emotion feels forced rather than natural, but on the whole, Silent Sky is a thing of beauty as luminous as the stars its heroine longed so deeply to understand. Moving on to Healdsburg, and Arthur Miller’s All My Sons, the legendary playwright’s his first critical hit. It’s not an easy show to pull off, but Miller’s ingeniously unfolding post-WWII drama gets a solid, emotionally truthful production courtesy of director Carl Hamilton and the Raven Players. The story is based on an actual event that took place during and after the war. Aging manufacturer Joe Keller (played quite well by Steve Thorpe) lost his youngest son, Larry, in the war. But because the body was never recovered, his wife Kate (an appealingly raw Rebecca Allington) still believes he’s alive. When Joe’s other son Chris (Jeremy Boucher, who is excellent) reveals that he plans to marry Ann (Angela Squire), who was once engaged to Larry, the stage is set for a family conflict with far more at stake than anyone knows. The drama builds as layers of secret and lies are gradually peeled back, exposing wounds and deceptions that threaten to tear the family apart. Though less popular than Miller’s ‘Death of a Salesman’ and ‘The Crucible,’ ‘All My Sons’ stands as one of the playwright’s most accessible and affecting stories. The Raven Production is flawed, slightly, by casting that puts certain actors in roles too old or too young for them. But with Hamilton’s fine direction, an impressive set by Darius Hamilton and some equally impressive light design by Robin DeLuca, along with the generally outstanding acting of the cast, this adds up to a rich and deeply powerful experience, with an emotional impact that does not soon fade away. 'Silent Sky’ runs Thursday–Sunday through April 17 in the Studio at 6th Street Playhouse. www.6thstreetplayhouse.com. All My Sons’ runs Friday–Sunday through April 24 in the Studio at the Raven Performing Arts Center. www.raventheater.org
