Women at the Harvard College Observatory
“Harvard College Observatory began hiring women assistants as early as 1875, though women like Eliza Quincy volunteered their time even before that date.”

Total Lunar Eclipse Coming Soon!
During a lunar eclipse, the Moon moves into Earth’s shadow, and sunlight passing through the atmosphere dimly lights it. Shorter wavelengths, like blue and violet, scatter more. Longer wavelengths, like red and orange, pass through giving the Moon a reddish or orangish hue. The more dust or clouds in Earth’s atmosphere, the redder the Moon appears.
