	Annie Jump Cannon - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Annie Jump Cannon (December 11, 1863 – April 13, 1941) was a US astronomer whose cataloguing work was instrumental in the development of contemporary stellar classification.
		In 1880 she was sent to Wellesley College, Massachusetts, one of the top academic schools for women in the U.S. The cold winter climate in the area led to repeated infections, and in one such bought she was stricken with scarlet fever.
		On average, Cannon classified three stars a minute in sparsely populated regions of the sky, and her speed was half that for denser regions of the sky.

		It was not until 1894, however, a decade after her graduation from Wellesley, that Annie Cannon returned for graduate study in astronomy and physics, first at Wellesley and, in 1895, at Radcliffe.
		When Miss Cannon was appointed curator of astronomical photographs at the observatory in 1911, she began the vitally important project in stellar demography of classifying stars down to the ninth magnitude, using objective prism plates taken by Pickering.
		Between 1918 and 1937, Annie Cannon was awarded six honorary doctoral degrees, but the one that probably meant the most to her came in April of 1925, when Oxford University made her the first woman to receive an honorary doctorate from that illustrious institution.

		In 1897 Annie Jump Cannon (1863-1941) was hired by Pickering to classify the spectra of stars of the southern hemisphere.
		Cannon noticed that stellar temperature was the principal distinguishing feature among different spectra and combined the previous classification schemes into a simplified scheme.
		Cannon personally classified every stellar spectrum that appears in the HD Catalogue, though she relied on a team of assistants to record her classifications and organize the records.

		Cannon after doing this for some time began to notice that she could do this in a different way.The way she did it was, she changed Flamings classes,did away with Maurys line width,and then inserted numbers to make subclasses inside a spectrum.Cannon had a system which enabled her to classify over 1,122 different stars.
		One of Cannon's good friends said that her work is a real treasure house of info-on stellar spectrum.Cannon's system was so easy to use it was adopted by many Universities across the nation.
