Hello and good morning to my lovely and beautiful fellow bloggers ..I missed u all so much…I hope u did too…and if u didn't,, I will give you the reason to miss me with my blogs…🥰🥰
So today a strange thing happened with me…. I am usually not the type of person heed on google doodles,,, but today I was like why not just see it….maybe it will provide some useful information…and that click lead me to the knowledge I am gonna share with you guys…because I believe that “If you have knowledge, let others light their candles in it.”-- by Margaret Fuller…
I stumbled upon a very fascinating story about the First Female Director Of The TRIESTE ASTRONOMICAL OBSERVATORY-- MARGHERITA HACK. Today's Doodle celebrates the 99th birthday of Italian professor, activist, author, and astrophysicist Margherita "The lady of the starts" Hack ,,said google.. She has earned many accomplishments in her life,, but the most important one was that ,,she had discovered the asteroid 8558 HACK, which was named in her honour .. Outside of her interest in science ,satellites, asteroids ,and the evolution of stellar atmospheres, Hack championed civil rights as an outspoken advocate for progressive causes, animal protection ,and equality for all..
Margherita Hack was born in Florence ,Italy on 12th June 1922. She took just one university class in literature before switching her major to physics…Following the 1945 defense of her thesis on Cepheid variables (stars used to measure intergalactic distances), Hack applied her knowledge of stellar spectroscopy as an astronomer at Florence's Astronomical Observatory of Arcetri ..
In 1964, she moved to Trieste ,where she made history not just as the first Italian woman to earn a full professorship at the city's university but also as the first female director of the Trieste Astronomical Observatory. For over 20 years, Hack transformed Trieste's observatory from a largely anonymous institution to a globally renowned nexus of scientific progress. These distinguished innovations garnered Hack international recognition in the astronomical community, which led to prestigious memberships at NASA and the European Space Agency – both home to the world's foremost scientific observatories..
Acclaimed for her ability to explain complex scientific concepts to the general public,, Hack published dozens of academic papers ,several astronomy books, and founded two astronomical magazines. She received a litany of accolades for her lifetime achievements, notably having asteroid 8558 Hack , which orbits between Mars and Jupiter, named in her honour in 1995. At 90 years young, the Italian government conferred Hack with its highest award:: the title of Dama di Gran Croce.
She was an atheist and she did not believe in any religion or form of supernaturalism. She was also known for her anti-religious views..
She was married to Aldo De Rosa….Hack died on 29th June 2013 in Trieste .She died because of the heart problem she was facing from two years and refused to have surgery… Her husband died on 26th September 2014, due to Alzheimer's…
Hack left her personal library, containing 24,000 books on astronomy ,to the city of Trieste ..She had received KNIGHT GRAND CROSS of the ORDER of MERIT of the ITALIAN REPUBLIC on 28th MAY 2012..
SO.. that's it in her journey…I shared her journey in brief with you guys I hope you all like it… Happy Birthday ,MARGHERITA HACK, and thank you for inspiring future generations to shoot for the stars!!🌟🌟
Stay happy, Stay healthy ,,and keep sharing as much information as u can… SEE YOU SOON GUYS,,LOVE YOU...❤❤💕💕
