Anna Winlock

Anna Winlock, born on September fifteenth, eighteen fifty-seven, was a pioneering American astronomer and a vital member of the early female computing group known as 'the Harvard Computers.' Her contributions to the field of astronomy were significant, particularly in the cataloging of stars.

Winlock is best remembered for her meticulous work in creating the most comprehensive catalog of stars located near the north and south poles during her time. This catalog not only advanced the understanding of stellar distribution but also served as a crucial resource for future astronomers.

In addition to her stellar cataloging, Anna Winlock made notable contributions to the study of asteroids. Her calculations and research on asteroids, especially on the notable bodies 433 Eros and 475 Ocllo, showcased her exceptional skills and dedication to the field of astronomy.
