In the print titled "The Leavitt Crater," Dr. Aura Satz superimposed Leavitt's portrait with a photograph of a lunar crater named in her honor (part of the collection at the Smithsonian's National Portrait Gallery.)

In an interview, she said - "The idea of women's names being associated with imperceptible craters on the moon, seemed an apt metaphor for women having a moment of slight visibility and then receding in the distance of history."

"Leavitt's discovery would forever change humanity's picture of the universe, as it prompted Harlow Shapley to move the Sun from the center of the galaxy in the "Great Debate" and Edwin Hubble to move the Milky Way galaxy from the center of the universe.

The accomplishments of Edwin Hubble, the American astronomer who established that the universe is expanding, also were made possible by Leavitt's groundbreaking research."

I bet you’ve heard of #Galileo & Hubble, but what about #Henrietta Swan Leavitt?

#Leavitt changed #astronomy. She figured out new ways to measure a star’s distance from #Earth & her #work helped determine the #universe is expanding.

Her boss, Edward #Pickering, published her findings UNDER HIS NAME. Later, #Shapley used her #findings to determine distances around the Milky Way w/o credit.
