Williamina Fleming, a Scottish astronomer, made significant contributions to the field by assisting in the photographic classification of stellar spectra at the Harvard College Observatory. She played a crucial role in developing a universal system for star designation and cataloged various celestial objects, such as stars, gaseous nebulae, variable stars, novae, and other astronomical phenomena.
