Elizabeth Martha Beckley (c.1846-6 August 1927) was a pioneering British astronomical photographer.[1][2][3]
She was the daughter of Robert Beckley, a mechanical engineer based at Kew Observatory, who developed the Beckley rain gauge and the Robinson-Beckley anemometer with Thomas Romney Robinson.[1][4]
Beckley worked at Kew Observatory from 1854 while still a young girl,[2] where she was one of the first women to work at an astronomical observatory.[5] She photographed the sun in the 1860s and 1870s using a photoheliograph.[1]
Beckley married fellow Kew Observatory employee George Mathews Whipple (15 September 1842-8 February 1893) in 1870.[5][6][7] They had five sons. The eldest was Robert Whipple, who was a scientific instrument collector, and founded the Whipple Museum of the History of Science in Cambridge.[1][5] While another was Francis Whipple, who was superintendent at Kew Observatory from 1925 to 1939.[8]
