Happy Birthday to Mary Somerville (26 Dec 1780 – 29 Nov 1872), the brilliant Scottish scientist, writer, mathematician and science writer.
The word scientist was coined for her.
In an era filled with great men of science but few women, she pioneered the art of presenting science in words that were engaging and accessible to a wide audience.
She predicted the presence of Neptune based on the perturbations of the orbit of Uranus.
