Black and white photo of Helen Sawyer Hogg standing next to a large telescope in an observatory. She is wearing a dark dress with short sleeves, a necklace, and a lapel pin that appears to be flowers but may be stars. The dome of the observatory appears to be open, because part of the wall behind her seems to illuminated. She holds a journal or magazine in her hands, and is looking to the right of the photographer.
