Barred from using telescopes, the women of the Harvard Observatory studied the stars through glass photographic plates. With patience and precision, they mapped the heavens by hand, one star at a time.

Henrietta Leavitt discovered the method to measure cosmic distances, a breakthrough that opened the universe to modern astronomy. Annie Jump Cannon created the stellar classification system that is still taught in classrooms today.

Despite their extraordinary contributions, these women were underpaid and left without proper credit. Yet their work quietly redefined humanity’s understanding of the cosmos and our place within it.

We donate 75% of the profit from each sale to this cause, which provides resources for Ukrainian refugees. This most recent donation reflects all sales so far this year, and we thank everyone who purchased a sticker. We still have plenty of Ukraine Peace Dragon stickers!
