Annie Jump Cannon
b. 12-11-1863; Dover, Delaware
d. 4-13-1941; Cambridge, MA

Astronomer Annie Jump Cannon's cataloging work was instrumental in the development of contemporary stellar classification based on their temperatures.

The mnemonic device “Oh, Be A Fine Girl – Kiss Me!” is useful for remembering Cannon's “arbitrary” division of stars into the spectral classes O, B, A, F, G, K, M.

Cannon and Margaret W. Mayall discovered the Hourglass Nebula while working on the Henry Draper catalogue.
