Education and careerShe was born in Wilmington, Delaware. During childhood, Heger's family moved west to Belvedere on the San Francisco Bay, where she spent her youth.[1] Heger received her bachelor's degree in 1919 from the University of California, Berkeley, becoming a graduate student in astronomy.[1] After marrying C. Donald Shane in 1920 she completed her PhD in 1924, writing a thesis under the supervision of W. W. Campbell at Lick Observatory that was one of the first papers to recognize the sharp, stationary Na I absorption lines in the spectra of distant binaries as interstellar in origin.[1] She was also the discoverer of the diffuse interstellar bands.[2] RetirementDeciding to focus on raising her two small children, Heger gave up the notion of a professional career.[1] At the end of World War II when her husband became director of Lick Observatory, Heger became a well-known scientific hostess and was remembered for her generous hospitality.[1] DeathMary Lea Shane died on her 86th birthday of a heart attack at her home in Scotts Valley, California on July 13, 1983.[1] References1. ^1 2 3 4 5 6 {{cite journal|title=1984JHA....15...74O Page 74|bibcode = 1984JHA....15...74O}} {{DEFAULTSORT:Heger, Mary Lea}}2. ^{{cite journal|title=On the discovery of the diffuse interstellar bands|journal=Proc.
