About the scientist:

Henrietta Leavitt (1868-1921) was an American astronomer whose groundbreaking work in the early 1900s on variable stars revolutionized the field of astronomy. She discovered the relationship between the period of Cepheid variable stars and their luminosity, allowing astronomers to determine the distance of faraway galaxies for the first time. Her discovery paved the way for modern cosmology and helped to establish the scale of the universe. Despite facing discrimination and inequality as a woman in science during her lifetime, her contributions have had a lasting impact on the field of astronomy.
