In 1925, a young graduate student's careful measurements of starlight revealed that our entire universe was far stranger and more vast than anyone imagined. Henrietta Swan Leavitt's meticulous work with variable stars became the cosmic ruler that would forever change how we measure the heavens—and accidentally opened the door to discovering that everything around us is flying apart.
