Jeremy Knowles, discussing the complete lack of recognition Cecilia Payne gets, even today, for her revolutionary discovery. (via alliterate)

OH WAIT LEMME TELL YOU ABOUT CECILIA PAYNE.

Cecilia Payne’s mother refused to spend money on her college education, so she won a scholarship to Cambridge.

Cecilia Payne completed her studies, but Cambridge wouldn’t give her a degree because she was a woman, so she said fuck that and moved to the United States to work at Harvard.

Cecilia Payne was the first person ever to earn a Ph.D. in astronomy from Radcliffe College, with what Otto Strauve called “the most brilliant Ph.D. thesis ever written in astronomy.”

Not only did Cecilia Payne discover what the universe is made of, she also discovered what the sun is made of (Henry Norris Russell, a fellow astronomer, is usually given credit for discovering that the sun’s composition is different from the Earth’s, but he came to his conclusions four years later than Payne—after telling her not to publish).

Cecilia Payne is the reason we know basically anything about variable stars (stars whose brightness as seen from earth fluctuates). Literally every other study on variable stars is based on her work.

Cecilia Payne was the first woman to be promoted to full professor from within Harvard, and is often credited with breaking the glass ceiling for women in the Harvard science department and in astronomy, as well as inspiring entire generations of women to take up science.

Cecilia Payne is awesome and everyone should know her.

Oh gosh, so I realize that I haven’t posted any art since January. I’ve turned into an internet hermit. :(

I apologize for my disappearance, since early this year I’ve been crazy busy with deadlines of different sorts.  In my spare time I have managed to keep up work on Daily Planet Files related art. I’ll be sharing more soon over the next few days!

Shailene Woodley: No because I love men,[…] x

Perhaps Seth Rogen’s latest Saturday Night Live episode wasn’t especially inspired: it opened with the requisite weed jokes, made fun of his oft-imitated laugh, and leaned…

You live in a world where you can see as far as the horizon, hear halfway across the planet and fly almost as fast as light. There’s little that’s unknowable to you. So I got you something rare in your world. I got you a mystery tied up in a bow. Something that has the potential to flummox you, frustrate you, and intrigue you. Lois, it just so happens I already have one of those.
