11.30am - The Harvard Computer Expert Talk with Stephen Webber, Cardiff Astronomical Society.

Dydd Sadwrn 20fed Medi 2025: 11.30am

Cyfrifiaduron Harvard – Mae yno stori am grŵp o fenywod, sy’n cael eu hadnabod fel mamau seryddiaeth fodern, a oedd yn gweithio ym Mhrifysgol Harvard ar ddiwedd y bedwaredd ganrif ar bymtheg.

Arweiniodd eu gwaith caled, eu hymroddiad a’u sylw gofalgar i’r manylion at nifer o ddarganfyddiadau a hawliwyd yn y pendraw gan ddynion – mae’n rhaid i ni rannu stori’r menywod hyn er mwyn sicrhau bod mwy o bobl yn ymwybodol o’r hyn a gyflawnwyd ganddynt. 

Galluogodd y menywod hyn rhai o’r darganfyddiadau seryddol pwysicaf sy’n cael eu priodoli i ddynion.

Dewch i wrando ar eu stori.

The story of the group of women known as the mothers of modern astronomy who worked at Harvard University Observatory at the end of the 19th century whose hard work , dedication and attention to details led to many discoveries where men took the credit.

Their story needs to be shared so more are aware of their achievements.

These women enabled some of the greatest astronomical discoveries attributed to men.

Come and listen to their story.
