SUNDAY, AUGUST 1, 2010 OBITUARIES ANN E. EWING, 89 Turned nation’s eye to ‘black holes’
Ann E. Ewing, 89, a journalist who specialized in writing about science and who is thought to be the first to report on so-called black holes, died July 24 at Wash- ington Home & Community Hos- pices of pneumonia after a stroke. Ms. Ewing wrote from the late
1940s to the late 1960s for Sci- ence News, a publication of the Society for Science and the Pub- lic. Her specialties included as- tronomy, physics and medicine. After leaving Science News, she became a freelance reporter who wrote for medical trade news- papers. Physicist John Wheeler has of- ten been credited with coining the term “black hole” to describe a collapsed star whose mass is so great that not even light can es- cape its gravitational field. Wheeler reportedly first used the term at a 1967 conference. However, Ms. Ewing used the term as early as 1964 in her story “ ‘Black Holes’ in Space” after ap- parently hearing it at a meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science. She did not identify the source of the quote.
Ann Elizabeth Ewing was a na- tive of East Grand Rapids, Mich., and a 1941 physics and chemistry graduate of Ripon College in Rip- on, Wis. She studied at the Uni- versity of Chicago before joining the Navy in 1942, during World War II. She served overseas as a Navy journalist until 1946. After the war, she received a pi- lot’s license and enjoyed flying
