Annie Jump Cannon (1863–1941) was an American astronomer known for her significant contributions to the field of stellar classification. She is best known for developing the Harvard Classification Scheme, which categorizes stars based on their temperatures and spectral types. This system uses letters (O, B, A, F, G, K, M) to classify stars, with O being the hottest and M being the coolest.
