On February 24th, 2020: #KatherineJohnson, American NASA #mathematician (portrayed in film Hidden Figures), died at 101.
#RIP 🪽🥀

Neil couldn't have walked on the moon without Josephine, Dee, Katherine, and the other women of Team Apollo. An inspiring introduction to the "hidden figures"! -> #BookThreads #BookSky #BookReview #WomenonaMission #Apollo11 #Charlesbridge #KatherineJohnson #PictureBook #Netgalley #ARCReview

Televisión “Hidden Figures”

• Título original: Hidden Figures
• Título en España: Figuras ocultas
• Título en Hispanoamérica: Talentos ocultos
• Calificación de edad: TV-PG+7 (En España es apta para todos los públicos, pero se recomienda para mayores de 7 años por sus temas de discriminación y lenguaje moderado).
• Canal o plataforma: Disponible principalmente en Disney+ y para alquiler/compra en plataformas como Google Play, Apple TV y Prime Video.

• Calificación calidad: 9 (Excelente). La crítica la aclama con un 93% en Rotten Tomatoes y excelentes valoraciones por su guion e interpretaciones.
• Argumento y comentario: Basada en hechos reales, narra la historia de tres brillantes matemáticas afroamericanas (Katherine Johnson, Dorothy Vaughan y Mary Jackson) que trabajaron en la NASA a principios de los años 60. Mientras el país lucha por ganar la carrera espacial, ellas deben enfrentar la segregación racial y el sexismo sistémico para demostrar que su intelecto es la clave para poner al astronauta John Glenn en órbita. Es una obra inspiradora que equilibra el rigor histórico con un tono optimista y actuaciones estelares.

🚀 To kick off #BlackHistoryMonth, we’re honoring the "Human Computer," Katherine Johnson!

Before NASA had supercomputers, they had Katherine. Her mastery of Euler’s Method was vital to project mercury! 📐

Her orbital logic is the heart of our Mercury Part 1 Activity: https://explore.stemcoding.org/projects/projectmercury1.html

Part 2 coming soon!

#STEMcoding #KatherineJohnson #NASA #BlackInSTEM #Physics

#TalDiaComoHoy #20Julio1969 "Es un pequeño paso para el hombre; un gran salto para la humanidad" #NeilArmstrong Fue posible porque #KatherineJohnson dijo: "Usted me dice cuándo y dónde quiere que aterrice la nave y yo le diré dónde, cuándo y cómo lanzarla" y así lo hizo #mujerescientíficas #Luna

Otra historieta con Fer Calvi para la revista de Binter: el Apolo 11 llega a la luna gracias a los cálculos de mecánica orbital de la matemática estadounidense Katherine Johnson. La historieta completa en https://revistabinter.com/revista/NT266.pdf

I’d like to take a moment for #WomensHistoryMonth to recognize the great and noble contributions of women to our space program – from #KatherineJohnson, who charted trajectories for Apollo 11 to #SallyRide. A proud salute to your contributions and service!

Wenn man Trumpel und Konsorten und deren Entscheidungen / Dekrete mitbekommt - wird dieser zusammen mit anderen Filmen in Kürze verboten?

Happy Birthday to the legendary Katherine Johnson! 🎂

As one of the first African-American women to work as a scientist at NASA, she broke down racial and gender barriers, paving the way for future generations in STEM. Her trailblazing achievements continue to inspire us all! 🚀✨

For my next read I am learning more about a truly amazing woman (I know quite a lot about her anyway, but this is her own story) #Goodreads #ReadingChallenge #Bibliophile #Bookworm #CurrentlyReading #NASA #KatherineJohnson #MyHeroes

It’s #BlackHistoryMonth so it’s a good time to celebrate the extraordinary mathematician and NASA scientist Katherine Johnson (née Coleman; 1918 – 2020). One of the first Black women employed as a NASA scientist (& its predecessor NACA), she was known for her mastery of complex manual calculations of orbital mechanics & played a pivotal role 🧵1/

"Co bys chtěla studovat?"
"Matematiku. Člověk se nemusí nic biflovat, stačí to pochopit."
"Jsi holka, nemáš na to hlavu."
"Na biflování prázdných pouček nemám hlavu. Nebaví mě to."
"Tak zkus třeba ekonomku..."

Že já tehdy neznala Katherine Johnson! Ženskou (navíc Afroameričanku), která matematiku vystudovala, udělala při třech dětech doktorát, získala práci v NASA a podílela se na výpočtech a analýzách trajektorií amerických vesmírných cest.

On this day, 62 years ago, the trajectory #KatherineJohnson manually calculated carried #NASA’s first astronaut, #AlanShepard, to #space in the #Freedom7 spacecraft

She was also the one who determined that this was date the #rocket could launch 🚀
