Sandra Faber
The Faber-Jackson relation, and the fix for the Hubble telescope's mirror.
Sandra Moore Faber is an American astrophysicist known for her research on the evolution of galaxies. She is the University Professor emerita of Astronomy and Astrophysics at the University of California, Santa Cruz, and works at the Lick Observatory. She has made discoveries linking the brightness of galaxies to the speed of stars within them and was the co-discoverer of the Faber-Jackson relation. Faber was also instrumental in designing the Keck telescopes in Hawaii.

Sandra Faber is alive, so there is one chart here rather than two. The death chart is cast for a documented moment of death and there is nothing to cast one for, which is the point: this site does not estimate either end.
