Beatrice Tinsley is known at the "Queen of the Cosmos", and for a good reason, too. She came out swinging, boldly exploring new ideas on how the universe was expanding, and creating models of various galaxies. Beatrice proposed that each galaxy was different based on the rate of star birth, various chemical elements, and numerous other factors that had not been previously considered in the equation! Beatrice was diagnosed with cancer and passed at just 40 years old, but as she stated, the number of years we are on this planet doesn't really matter much, and she made the most out of the time that she had.
