The ultimate scientific "be careful what you wish for" moment! Harvard Observatory director hired his maid to prove a point and accidentally discovered one of astronomy's greatest minds. Williamina Fleming went from dusting telescopes to discovering celestial objects while her former boss probably sat there wondering why his tea wasn't ready. Classic case of underestimating women in science—turns out the stars aligned perfectly for Fleming while the director's ego imploded like a dying sun. Next time someone says "even my maid could do this job," remember they might be right for all the wrong reasons.
