NASA mathematician, programmer & manager Dorothy Vaughan became the first Black female supervisor at NACA (precursor to NASA) in 1949. Her life & work, along with those of Katherine Johnson & Mary Jackson inspired the book/film Hidden Figures. She was born #OTD in 1910. #WomenInSTEM

This side-by-side composite image contrasts the real historical figure Dorothy Vaughan with the actress who portrayed her in the 2016 film Hidden Figures, celebrating her legacy as a pioneering NASA mathematician and its first Black female supervisor (1910–2008). On the left, a vintage, black-and-white portrait shows a young Dorothy Vaughan looking directly at the camera with a calm, serene, and dignified expression. She has dark hair pulled neatly back, wide eyes, and a slight, subtle smile. She wears a dark jacket or blouse. The background is completely plain and light, focusing all attention on her composed demeanor. On the right, a vibrant, color photograph of actress Octavia Spencer as Vaughan. She is positioned in a right-facing profile, turning her head back slightly to look toward the viewer with a knowing, confident, and warm expression. She has voluminous, shoulder-length dark hair and is wearing a textured gray blazer. The background is a softly blurred room filled with retro computing technology, including large reel-to-reel tape drives with prominent blue spools, symbolizing the transition to electronic data processing. The overall composition bridges history and modern media, creating an inspiring and respectful mood that honors Vaughan's immense historical significance in aerospace engineering and computer programming.

Sometimes, all nature needs is a little space, a little sunlight, and the chance to grow. Protecting these small moments of wildness helps preserve the living connections between plants, pollinators, people, and the environment we share.

"I hear the approaching thunder that, one day, will destroy us too, I feel the suffering of millions. And yet, when I look up at the sky, I somehow feel that everything will change for the better, that this cruelty, too, shall end, that peace and tranquility will return once more." - Anne Frank
