Sorry everyone, I had a typo in my list. Henrietta Swan Leavitt was born on JULY 4th, not August 4th. I’ll leave this up a bit, then delete the thread.

She established the period-luminosity relation for Cepheid variable stars, an essential tool for understanding the scale of our Universe. It's one of the most important results in all of astronomy.

  @mcnees let’s celebrate the anniversary of her 13th month; you can edit the thread accordingly and leave it up!

  @mcnees instead of deleting it you could have edited it to read “was *not* born OTD” — and a very merry unbirthday to her!
