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.
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.
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! 🌟
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.
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.
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.
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 :)
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!!
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 👍🤟💝
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
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
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 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.
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 😍🌿🌿
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 ❤
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!
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.
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
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
Loved this so much! Now i'm gonna go binge the whole playlist. Also doing discord for your patrons is awesome. My best friend lives in Australia and I'm in western US and we are able to hang out together via discord multiple times a week. I don't think our friendship would be possible without it.
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.
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 !
The SEXISM sign and the way you hold it up is giving me life. I really enjoy the style of your videos with the side camera, I am sure it is a lot of work but it looks phenomenal and your comment is always on point. Thank you for this very interesting video!!!
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
This is fascinating and I wish I would’ve heard about her story earlier. Love your narration style, your sass is truly one of its kind. :D And I agree with other commenters, you could totally publish a book one day!
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!
You should cover Juliette Gordon Low she was the founder of girl scouts and started going deaf at 17 and was completely deaf in adulthood. It's never really talked about in girl scouts that she was deaf even when we celebrated her birthday or anything and she was a pretty cool woman and everything.
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.
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!

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."
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!💜
@@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!
@@redfoxblues well yeah, it may have been misquoted, but I'll happily think of it as being Serbian, haha 😎

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.
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.
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
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.
if you were history teacher , i would take history and ask for extra lessons. heck , i'd ask for lessons AFTER school.
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.
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 NEED a GIF of Jessica pulling up the sexism sign.
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.
That last quote from her was actually so comforting!!😭
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.

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.

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! :)
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
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 💙
"Focus on your own health and wellbeing first before pushing yourself to be someone else's inspirational story" - love this!!
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 😄
Take a drink of something every time Jess has to hold up that sign
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!!
Jessica's voice during that quote was so calming and lovely.
Annie is really cool. I love these historical profiles
I wish i had you as my history teacher (or any class). You're amazing :D
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'VE BEEN WAITING FOR ANOTHER HISTORICAL PROFILE I LOVE THIS SERIES
Also that miniature wedding cake makes my heart smile
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!!!
There is a book about the Harvard Computers, "The Glass Universe: How the Ladies of the Harvard Observatory Took the Measure of the Stars"
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!
YESSSSSS!!!!!! I Loved this video 💜 Annie Jump Cannon and Cecilia Payne-Gaposchkin are my absolute favourite astronomers.
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 🤗💜😘🐾🐾🦋!
I love these videos on historical figures!!

I don't see anyone mentioning how lovely your hair band is! I couldn't stop looking at it! It's soo beautiful.
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 :)
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 😍🌿🌿
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! :)
1000% one of my favorite quotes of all time I've ever heard 🙏 thank u so much for this Ms Jessaudia
Wow. Thank you so much Jessica, for everything you do. I love you so so much
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 ❤
Loved that you highlighted a more obscure name from history this time. Great to learn about her!
We share the same birthday! Thanks for sharing more awesome people!
"In the future"
I may be over thinking this but sounds like a preview to the next of this series
That was an awesome woman! She sure deserved more recognition! Thanks for telling her story ❤️
I learned her classification system in astronomy class but never learned about her life or about her hearing loss. Great video!
So many Jessica videos lately!! Be still my happy heart!!!

I love how informative yet passive aggressive these videos are 😂😂
My favorite series from your channel!!!
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!!
Jessica would be one of the best history teachers ever!!!!!!!!!!👩🏫
YAY! New upload from Jessica!!
This was so interesting!😍 (and also your hairband is so cute in combination with your hair - I really like it😄) ❤
I would love to see you do a profile on Rosemary Kennedy
Me too!
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've learned so much the past week bingeing your videos 💕
I just got my astrophysics degree but how haven’t I heard of this badass scientist!! Thank you for sharing her story ❤️
Oh how I love your history lessons of woman that the male history just glosses over. Your such a lovely young lady. 👍🙉🙈🙊☕️
I've never heard of this person before, so excited!
I love watching you, your style is simply adorable! And I love how smart and nice you are !😍
This is my new favourite video of yours, Jessica! Thank you for sharing it with us :) ✨
I truly loved and learned so much!
That was great! You could do a channel on just overlooked women from history.
I am so happy that you released this today, it's my birthday, and I love the historical videos you do. Thank you
P.S. I love your top/dress
I really love these videos ! Learning so much ! Thank you for making them 💞

I love this new camera to camera set up it is epic
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 your historical figure videos! ☺️👌🏻🌈💕✨
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 !
Love jumping in to the videos here early! Such great fun when I get history and happy Jessica!
The SEXISM sign and the way you hold it up is giving me life. I really enjoy the style of your videos with the side camera, I am sure it is a lot of work but it looks phenomenal and your comment is always on point. Thank you for this very interesting video!!!
I am new to your TH-cam channel and I must say that you are a wonderful breath of fresh air. Thank you…
As a physicist myself I did know about her and loved her work. Her system is so great. My favorite astronomical object is M57
.
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

Studying astrophysics at uni right now, and Annie Jump Canon is a huge inspiration to me
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.
How fascinating! Thank you for sharing about this brilliant woman!
Your videos always make my life more bearable. Thank you.
