Lilian Martin-Leake
Lilian Martin-Leake (17 March 1867, Paddington, England – 1962, Bideford, England) was a British astronomer, science teacher and scientific illustrator, and a member of British Astronomical Association (BAA). She joined an expedition organized by the Association to observe the total eclipse of May 28, 1900. Along with four other members she was stationed on the roof of the Hotel de la Régence in Algiers to examine the structure of the corona through a 3” (75mm) aperture telescope. Lilian joined the Association on 31 May 1893 at the proposal of Alice Everett and seconded by A S D Russell.

Martin-Leake made a drawing from a telescopic view of prominences and chromosphere during the eclipse of May 28, 1900. Her drawing of the chromosphere and the corona showed red spicules in the chromosphere that were considered as mountains before.
