Annie Jump Cannon
Produced and Performed by Lynda WIlliams

Lyrics:

She was a human computer
at the Harvard College Observatory
classifying stellar spectra
she was the world's leading expert!

She created the spectral class system
we all love and use today!

Oh be a fine girl kiss me right now sweetie!
(O B A F G K M R S)
(repeat)

She classified over 500,000 spectra in her lifetime.
She could do three in a minute!

Jump! Jump! Jump! Jump!
Annie Jump Cannon!

  • Annie Jump Cannon (December 11, 1863 – April 13, 1941) was an American astronomer whose cataloging work was instrumental in the development of contemporary stellar classification. With Edward C. Pickering, she is credited with the creation of the Harvard Classification Scheme, which was the first serious attempt to organize and classify stars based on their temperatures.

  • Love this song : )
