Annie Jump Cannon

Written and peformed by Lynda Williams
for the 1997 10th Cambridge Workshop Cool Stars, Stellar Systems and the Sun

Annie Jump Cannon (1863-1941) developed the system for classifying
stellar spectra, running from hotter to colder : O B A F G K M
The classic mnemonic for the sequence is: Oh Be A Fine Girl Kiss Me
The sequence has since been extended to include cooler stars: R N S
and so I have extended the mnemonic with "Right Now Sweetie!"
