In order to give Miss Cannon every possible assistance in her task of analyzing 100,000 stars her department at the Harvard observatory has been reduced to a rigid business basis. When the work was new she could analyze at the rate of 1,000 stars in three years. Now she analyzes 5,000 stars in one month. 200 stars an hour.

On Jan. 1 she had examined about 65,000, which means about two-fifths of the work is completed. "Harvard is the only place that has complete material for this work, and Miss Cannon is the only person in the world man or woman who can do the work so quickly," said Professor Edward C. Pickering, director of the observatory, in speaking about the Importance of Miss Cannon's achievement. "The results will have a bearing on a great many departments of astronomy, especially on the speed with which stars move through space."
