Annie Scott Dill Maunder

Annie Scott Dill Maunder (; 14 April 1868 – 15 September 1947) was an Irish astronomer, who recorded the first evidence of the movement of the sunspot emergence from the poles toward the equator over the 11-year solar cycle, finding the now-called Maunder Minimum. As sole author, she also devised with her husband, Edward Walter Maunder, the butterfly diagram for sunspots. Alone, she discovered that the sunspots in the Sun were asymmetrical. She was one of the leading astronomers of her time, but because of her gender, her contribution was often underplayed at the time. In 1916, she was elected to the Royal Astronomical Society, 21 years after being refused membership because of her gender. Her father was the minister of the Presbyterian Church in Strabane until 1882. The oldest of the children was 21 and the youngest was 7. For a year, Annie worked as a mathematics mistress at the Ladies' High School on the island of Jersey until she was offered the position by the Chief Assistant, Herbert Hall Turner. The members of the association that accompanied her were Mary Acworth Evershed, Lilian Martin-Leake, and C O Stevens. Along with her were two additional nominees, Elizabeth Brown and Alice Everett. as part of a revival of telescopy in London enabled by cleaner air and advanced technology. There is also to be an exhibition about Maunder's story, on the ground floor of the building.

In March 2022 English Heritage unveiled a blue plaque to Annie and Walter Maunder at their former home in Brockley, south London. The Maunders wrote The Heavens and their Story (1908) while they were living in Brockley.

On 1 April 2022, a satellite named after her (ÑuSat 23 or "Annie", COSPAR 2022-033M) was launched into space as part of the Satellogic Aleph-1 constellation.

In 2023 an asteroid was named after Maunder; it is called Anniemaunder.
