“In the heart of the renowned Harvard University, as the 19th century was nearing its twilight, an extraordinary narrative took form. A group of women, later christened the Harvard Computers, embarked on an expedition which crossed not terrestrial miles, but spanned the cosmos' incomprehensible expanse via the lens of data. Between the genesis of modern astronomy and the dawn of the 20th century, these unacknowledged heroines dutifully etched over half a million starlight observations onto photographic plates.

This was more than a pursuit of knowledge; it was an intertwining ballet of data and design. To them, the twinkling dots scattered across the celestial landscape were not just remote astral entities but data points—a cryptic language awaiting deciphering, indicating our position in the grand cosmic narrative.”
