I absolutely cackled at the 90 year old woman comment at the end. Same 😂 One of my favorite quotes is an old Serbian proverb: "be humble for you are made of earth, but be noble for you are also made of stars."
@@britischenadligen3760 it might be a different translation, or even misquoted as being Serbian, but I've always loved it! It was on my wall many moons ago when I was in High School. Glad to have made your day though!
I'd heard about Annie Cannon many times before in my studies of the Harvard Computers, but I'd never learned she was deaf! She was also actually very very gay. She was the lifelong friend and partner in illness and death of Williamina Fleming, the maid that Pickering hired.
My astronomy teacher had us memorize Annie's system by using the moniker, "Only bad astronomers forget generally know mnemonics" because she didn't really like the other moniker. We just had to memorize r, n, and s because they were added to the classification system later
Annie Jump Cannon is the bomb! She furthered the field of astronomy so much and she's always been an inspiration and role model to me. You left out a tiny interesting tidbit as to why those letters were chosen for the classifications, though! She started sorting them alphabetical based on magnitude (brightness) and some other characteristics, with A basically being the brightest and Z being the dimmest. By catagorizing them this way, she realized that all stars cluster into just those several types that we use today, and that we can use their spectroscopy (the colors of light and brightness they give off) to determine the size and age of the star! 🌟
I am an astronomy professor and I love teaching about Annie Jump Canon and the other Harvard geniuses. Thanks for making this video. I also wanted to mention Henrietta Swan Leavitt also a deaf Harvard computer who's work revolutionized the field and another great person to know about.
another shoutout to Henrietta Leavitt who was also deaf/HOH and worked with Annie Jump Cannon! I recommend that everyone check out the play Silent Sky which follows Henrietta’s story
I just had to drop out of college for now due to my illness and some doctors' mistakes. I've been super depressed about it and not doing well. It kind of hit me when you said that about taking care of one's own health, that the Big Panic I've been having isn't necessary. This is an easy decision and I made the right one. Thank you for helping me realize.
Hearing loss due to an ear infection. Been there. I have a chromosome disorder called Turner syndrome which impacted (among other things) my ears ability to drain fluid. I was prone to ear infections as a child and started wearing hearing aids almost 3 years ago. I’m a couple weeks shy of 25 and it’s comforting hearing (no pun intended) from another young person who wears hearing aids. Sorry this comment is so long.
There's a really good play about one of her colleagues, Henrietta Swan Leavitt who went deaf in early adulthood. Her story wasn't quite as happy, her career was constantly being put on hold for family reasons and she died in middle age to some form of cancer.
OOOoo! Can you do one on the Night Witches of WWII? They were female soviet pilots that went up against Nazi Pilots in planes built of nothing more than plywood and canvas.
Phenomenal woman, phenomenal name, and phenomenal video!! I adore all your videos Jessica, they've made me feel so much less alone as I've started dealing with some form of chronic "something's wrong" and the struggle for a diagnosis. Thank you so much for everything you do!!
The little break away about focusing on your own health and well being before being someone else's inspiration is something I need to hear every day. Having someone online who represents similar experiences to mine and is so open about it and down to earth is bloody amazing. I feel so validated! I also love this series so so much. Do you think you would do a video on disabled people you relate to in the public eye? I love the disability history, I'm just curious about who you follow now/admire etc :)
Probably you will never read this, but your voice is amazing! Really. English isn't my national language and thanks of your videos where you speak very clearly I can learn this language
Thank you, Jessica, for bringing to light the story of this incredible woman. I would have never thought to research her on my own. It is truly remarkable how, unfortunately, the treatment of women in the workforce, while better than in the past...continues to be severely lacking in terms of equality. More videos such as this one can & should open up people's minds to the vast array intellect, strength, & character of those we may have overlooked. And perhaps propel all of us today to recognize & appreciate the determination of our fellow human beings. No obstacle, be it professionally, physically, mentally, or socially...should dictate our future. Absolutely fantastic video! Lovely as always 👍🤟💝
Her tie gave me flashbacks to private school. Regardless, this video was so interesting! I've loved your channel for a while now, and I really do love the way that you storytell history from different perspectives. You're incredibly talented and I cant wait to see more of your content 💙
I have never been more interested in a person’s life than I am now! Listening to Annie’s life really re-motivates me to do the best I can in college, and inspires me to pursue whatever I want after I graduate! Thanks for this historical feature about Annie! Also low key love your dress/top. C
I love your videos I'm from Spain. You speak perfectly and clarity and I can understand it's perfect to practise English-language. I was needing to say thank you very much
I have such a love for history and I adore these videos. Thank you so much for educating me on such an incredible woman. There are so many people from our past that deserve their stories to be told again and again. Truly fascinating.
YAYYYYY!!! History video from Jessica 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻! I haven’t heard of her so I’m excited! On to the video. If I don’t have anything to follow up with, sending you all hugs, love & of course the puppies usual mooches 🤗💜😘🐾🐾🦋!
A book that I think you would really like is titled Brazen. I sadly can't remember the author's name. Brazen is a book that has multiple bibliographies about different women throughout history in a variety of fields. The interesting thing about this book is it's done in a comic format! Having colored panels detailing each woman's story.
So much to know about this fascinating 'Star Woman' from so long ago..with not nearly enough cred for the importance of the changes she made for categorizing OUR WHOLE BLOOMIN' GALAXY! Great presentation, by a very well presented, well polished woman... who's knowledge and manner of speaking is also 'very well polished' and a rather enjoyed the frightfully cheeky humour along the way. Marvelouse, Dear Girl. Bravo! I shall Cordially invite myself to SUBSCRIBE without delay!
You always give us the best quality content, Jessica! ❤ I must admit I've never been drawn to astronomy, but story of this woman is so inspiring and encouraging. It kind of makes me wanna chase all my dreams 😍🌿🌿
3:40 *clapping* I'm afraid you'll have to find a frame for that Sexism sign if you keep doing biographical videos (which I hope you do!) Also you look great today too ^^ that scarf/tie detail is adorable!
I have severe to profound hearing loss and I can totally understand Annie's focus to concentrate due to the silence. ☺ This is the first time I learned about her...thank you for teaching me, Jessica! I also love your sass in this video too. LOL ❤
Thank you for once again bringing someone to are attention that we were unaware of. Because of your video I'm going to my neighborhood library and get more information on her! I love reading autobiographies it's always been a passion of mine . You remind me of my favorite teachers who made learning so much fun ! ❤🌎💯😎❤😊
High school astronomy and science teacher, here: I always love getting to talk about Annie Jump Cannon and Cecilia Payne-Gaposchkin every year! They're among my favorite astronomers, up there with Jocelyn Bell
It’s not fair to your other videos but this one is my favorite. I had never heard of that extraordinary woman, it’s a shame as she is so inspirational. Thank you !
I love these historical profiles, it’s so interesting to learn about the people that you wouldn’t hear about otherwise. I would love a discord channel, if you need a moderator, I volunteer.
I was thinking about how she reminds me of another brilliant scientist Henrietta Leavitt (sidenote: there's a beautiful play about her called Silent Sky by Lauren Gunderson) when you said Canon worked at Harvard!. Leavitt worked their as well.
I love astronomy since I was a child and seeing astronomer women inspires me a lot (even though i'm not studying astronomy yet because I chose psychology first) and I loved the story of this extraordinary woman and I'm so happy to hear Annie's story! Thanks Jessica, you are amazing and your videos are perfect!
wow, she is amazing! thanks so much for teaching us about Annie Jump Canon, Jessica, even as a physics student interested in astronomy I had never come across her name. let's go underrepresented scientists!
This was an excellente break from the stress of finalizing my dissertation! Completely different subject and Jessicas never ending happiness and positivity rubbs of at least a little bit, and I need it! :D
Female computers in many disciplines have made some of the most significant findings. I'm loving this series Jessica - totally agree with the commenter who says you should write a history book :D
Jessica, this series keeps on getting better and better! Thanks so much for doing all this research and helping us to be more informed. I love the sexism sign it was an awesome choice.

Awwh, I'm Serbian and you just made my day 😄 funny enough, I have never heard of that quote before, but I love it, it's so true!💜

@@redfoxblues well yeah, it may have been misquoted, but I'll happily think of it as being Serbian, haha 😎
I'd heard about Annie Cannon many times before in my studies of the Harvard Computers, but I'd never learned she was deaf! She was also actually very very gay. She was the lifelong friend and partner in illness and death of Williamina Fleming, the maid that Pickering hired.
Jessica you should write a LGBTQ history book! Like in the style of good night stories and rebel girl book!
And adult ones to
YES!
I agree!
"Listen to your parents! (Unless they're disparaging you, in which case NAH!)" Bahaha yes, thank you for this gift, I love it.

Good to know ( mentioning Henrietta Swan Leavitt) Shall do. Thanks.
I kept expecting a horrible twist in her life, but wow, she just lived to be a boss the whole time. Thanks for the video!
This series is basically "Hidden figures", but for more and more forgotten phenomenal women who we can now appreciate -- and I love it
if you were history teacher , i would take history and ask for extra lessons. heck , i'd ask for lessons AFTER school.
another shoutout to Henrietta Leavitt who was also deaf/HOH and worked with Annie Jump Cannon! I recommend that everyone check out the play Silent Sky which follows Henrietta’s story
I was lucky enough to play Henrietta in my school’s production of Silent Sky and I’ve never fallen so in love with a play/story/“character”
I played Henrietta too in my school play too and didn’t even know Annie was also deaf! I also had such a hard time learning the star names haha.
I NEED a GIF of Jessica pulling up the sexism sign.
I just had to drop out of college for now due to my illness and some doctors' mistakes. I've been super depressed about it and not doing well. It kind of hit me when you said that about taking care of one's own health, that the Big Panic I've been having isn't necessary. This is an easy decision and I made the right one.

Thanks you I used to be so self conscious of my hearing aids and my identity and now I’m not since I found your channel ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️💜💜

I love this history lesson, well done. I also have to admit that I love your usage of the "sign". The eyebrow lifts over the top are hilarious.

Take a drink of something every time Jess has to hold up that sign
"Focus on your own health and wellbeing first before pushing yourself to be someone else's inspirational story" - love this!!

Absolutely fantastic video! Lovely as always 👍🤟💝
What a nice surprise. Was very excited when I saw that there was a video released on my birthday. Thank you for always making me smile.
Hope your birthday is a happy one! :)
I love these Bios. So interesting. And full of honesty. I look forward to them.
You did forget to put "racism" after the Harem.
Her tie gave me flashbacks to private school.
Regardless, this video was so interesting! I've loved your channel for a while now, and I really do love the way that you storytell history from different perspectives. You're incredibly talented and I cant wait to see more of your content 💙
There is a book about the Harvard Computers, "The Glass Universe: How the Ladies of the Harvard Observatory Took the Measure of the Stars"
I have never been more interested in a person’s life than I am now! Listening to Annie’s life really re-motivates me to do the best I can in college, and inspires me to pursue whatever I want after I graduate!
Thanks for this historical feature about Annie!
Also low key love your dress/top.
C
Hahahahhahaha actually lost it when you whipped out the sexism sign! 😂😂
I love the history of astronomy and astronomers so I'm very excited to watch 😄
Jessica's voice during that quote was so calming and lovely.
Annie is really cool. I love these historical profiles
I never heard of this person, I'm so happy that you showed me this person and showed us the accomplishments she made throughout her life, Thank You!!
I wish i had you as my history teacher (or any class). You're amazing :D
"In the future"
I may be over thinking this but sounds like a preview to the next of this series
I love your videos I'm from Spain. You speak perfectly and clarity and I can understand it's perfect to practise English-language. I was needing to say thank you very much
I have such a love for history and I adore these videos. Thank you so much for educating me on such an incredible woman. There are so many people from our past that deserve their stories to be told again and again. Truly fascinating.
1000% one of my favorite quotes of all time I've ever heard 🙏 thank u so much for this Ms Jessaudia
i learned about her in physics last year, and im always appalled when people dont know who she is!! thank you for talking about her!!!
We share the same birthday! Thanks for sharing more awesome people!
YESSSSSS!!!!!! I Loved this video 💜 Annie Jump Cannon and Cecilia Payne-Gaposchkin are my absolute favourite astronomers.
That was an awesome woman! She sure deserved more recognition! Thanks for telling her story ❤️
YAYYYYY!!! History video from Jessica 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻! I haven’t heard of her so I’m excited! On to the video. If I don’t have anything to follow up with, sending you all hugs, love & of course the puppies usual mooches 🤗💜😘🐾🐾🦋!
Oh how I love your history lessons of woman that the male history just glosses over. Your such a lovely young lady. 👍🙉🙈🙊☕️
Have you heard of Puerto Rican astrophysicist Wanda Diaz Merced? She is blind and uses a technique called sonification to ‘see’ the stars
I love your history lessons, Jessica! Thank you for bringing attention to this remarkable woman! :)
I love marathoning your videos while I wash my windows so the whole block can get educated and entertained. Whether they like it or not :)
I love these videos on historical figures!!

I learned her classification system in astronomy class but never learned about her life or about her hearing loss. Great video!
You always give us the best quality content, Jessica! ❤ I must admit I've never been drawn to astronomy, but story of this woman is so inspiring and encouraging. It kind of makes me wanna chase all my dreams 😍🌿🌿
Loved that you highlighted a more obscure name from history this time. Great to learn about her!
There is a beautiful play about her.
3:40 *clapping*
I'm afraid you'll have to find a frame for that Sexism sign if you keep doing biographical videos (which I hope you do!)
Also you look great today too ^^ that scarf/tie detail is adorable!
I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR ANOTHER HISTORICAL PROFILE I LOVE THIS SERIES
Also that miniature wedding cake makes my heart smile
annie jump cannon was my great-great aunt & im always so excited to see stuff about her, especially from one of my favorite youtube channels!!
I don't see anyone mentioning how lovely your hair band is! I couldn't stop looking at it! It's soo beautiful.
Brilliant video about a vrilliant woman. Thank you.
So many Jessica videos lately!! Be still my happy heart!!!
I would love to see you do a profile on Rosemary Kennedy
Me too!
Wow. Thank you so much Jessica, for everything you do. I love you so so much
Jessica would be one of the best history teachers ever!!!!!!!!!!👩🏫
I have severe to profound hearing loss and I can totally understand Annie's focus to concentrate due to the silence. ☺ This is the first time I learned about her...thank you for teaching me, Jessica! I also love your sass in this video too. LOL ❤
How fascinating! Thank you for sharing about this brilliant woman!
I love the side sass!
As a physicist myself I did know about her and loved her work. Her system is so great. My favorite astronomical object is M57
.
Beautiful story. Amazing woman, and the star lady is cool too 😄.
Thank you for once again bringing someone to are attention that we were unaware of. Because of your video I'm going to my neighborhood library and get more information on her!

I've never heard of this person before, so excited!
I just got my astrophysics degree but how haven’t I heard of this badass scientist!! Thank you for sharing her story ❤️
I love this new camera to camera set up it is epic
High school astronomy and science teacher, here: I always love getting to talk about Annie Jump Cannon and Cecilia Payne-Gaposchkin every year! They're among my favorite astronomers, up there with Jocelyn Bell
I love how informative yet passive aggressive these videos are 😂😂
That was great! You could do a channel on just overlooked women from history.
Wow! What a great episode. This is why I am a supporter I learn so much.
I love watching you, your style is simply adorable! And I love how smart and nice you are !😍
I love Annie! She also worked as a mentor to women like Cecilia Payne!
My favorite series from your channel!!!
It’s not fair to your other videos but this one is my favorite. I had never heard of that extraordinary woman, it’s a shame as she is so inspirational. Thank you !

i love your historical figure videos! ☺️👌🏻🌈💕✨
Female computers in many disciplines have made some of the most significant findings. I'm loving this series Jessica - totally agree with the commenter who says you should write a history book :D
I've learned so much the past week bingeing your videos 💕
I smiled through the whole video. Such a fascinating story and wonderfully made!
Love this! What a brilliant woman!
This was so interesting!😍 (and also your hairband is so cute in combination with your hair - I really like it😄) ❤
I am new to your UA-cam channel and I must say that you are a wonderful breath of fresh air. Thank you…
Jessica, this series keeps on getting better and better! Thanks so much for doing all this research and helping us to be more informed. I love the sexism sign it was an awesome choice.
YAY! New upload from Jessica!!
Studying astrophysics at uni right now, and Annie Jump Canon is a huge inspiration to me
