The Bikerlorian

Jango Fett, the man who was enslaved by chains and memories and trauma who raised a son with a gentler heart than him who he loved with his whole being, and even in death Jango was able to take his revenge on those who massacred his people. Boba Fett, the cherished son, the boy enslaved by violent grief and a father's legacy, who finds work with Jabba the Hutt, a titan of the slave trade who doesn't let his prizes go easily, and Darth Vader, a man with iron control over everything and everyone around him. He dies and is reborn fromt he sarlac and wars with his pride and ego and grief to finally free himself of the shackles and remake a planet of pain into his own kingdom to rule over fairly and justly.

Cody: Sir, I think that was your Padawan.

Obi-Wan: Oh, no. That was Ahsoka.

Working at Harvard in the late 1800’s and early 1900’s as a “Computer”, Annie Jump Cannon cataloged stars using their spectra from photographic plates, in an effort to understand the mysteries and peculiarities of stellar spectra.

This was hard, detailed, nuanced work. By 1889, three years into her work, she had classified over 1,000 stars. By 1913, she could classify 200 stars an hour. She could classify three stars a minute, just by sight. Using a magnifying glass, she could classify stars down to 9th magnitude, 16 times fainter than the human eye can see. And she did this all with exceptional accuracy.

Over the course of her career, she personally classified more than 350,000 stars, accounting for a mind-boggling 98% of all contemporary stellar spectra classifications, a feat that wouldn’t be bested until the 1990’s with automated digital sky surveys.

Cannon used these classifications to develop the Harvard spectral classification system (O–B–A–F–G–K–M), organizing stars by surface temperature and physical properties.

It is hard to overstate just how foundational her work was to modern astronomy and astrophysics. Her classifications have enabled more than a century of breakthroughs in stellar structure and evolution, including the understanding of how stars change over time and how temperature, luminosity, and composition are related. The system underpins the Hertzsprung–Russell (HR) diagram, one of the most important tools in astrophysics, and remains embedded in modern research, from stellar population studies to galaxy evolution.
