    Did you know it was this woman #astronomer who figured out the most abundant atom in the universe is #hydrogen? She did quite a number of astonishing things in an environment where women weren't welcome in the sciences. Her name should be as familiar as the names of some of male contemporaries -- but some of them got the credit for work that she did (even though some tried to give her credit). What an amazing biography of Ceclia Payne-Gaposchkin.
