The photo is a black-and-white image featuring a large telescope mounted inside a domed observatory. The telescope, with its long cylindrical body and intricate support structure, is angled upward. A person, dressed in a textured jacket, stands beside the telescope, adjusting or inspecting it with their hand on a control mechanism. The background shows the interior of the observatory with a curved, paneled ceiling and a railing, giving the scene a vintage, scientific atmosphere.

Vibert Douglas fought against gender discrimination in her field, earned an MBE for her war service, was a celebrated astrophysicist and one of the first individuals to receive the Order of Canada.
This is her remarkable story.
