#astro 🔭 Barnard 150 aka The Seahorse Nebula, located in the Cepheus Constellation. I’ve had this Data for quite some time but never got around to stacking or processing it until today.

Engraved portrait of Caroline in her old age, and text about how she came to work with her brother.

Happy birthday to Caroline Herschel, from whom I took the title for my first book.

Caroline (1750-1848) assisted her famous brother William at the telescope. She wrote once that he was away, and that she was “minding the heavens” for him. 🔭

A black and white photo of Mary Jackson standing in front of a bank of floor-to-ceiling computers in the 1960s. She has short curly hair and is wearing glasses and a white lab coat. Jackson appears to be pulling a wire from a panel on one of the computers.

Mathematician and aerospace engineer Mary Jackson was born OTD in 1921.

She worked at the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics until it was succeeded by NASA in 1958. Jackson then became the first Black woman to work as a NASA engineer. 🧪 👩🏾‍🔬 🔭
