Listen Caroline Herschel Caroline Herschel was a singer, mathematician and astronomer Caroline Herschel was born in Germany in 1750. She was one of six children. Caroline's father was a musician. He wanted all of his children to study French, mathematics and music. Caroline's mother thought it was a waste of time for a girl to become educated. She made Caroline do most of the housework. When she was ten, Caroline became sick from a disease called typhus. The disease stopped her from growing. She never grew taller than four foot three. When she was twenty-two Caroline went to live with her brother in England. Caroline's brother, William, trained her in singing and in mathematics. William was very interested in astronomy and he trained Caroline in that science also. Caroline Herschel helped her brother with his work. She even learned how to grind the glass to make powerful telescopes . She began using the telescopes to make discoveries by herself. Caroline Herschel discovered three new nebulae (the place where stars form). She was also the first woman to discover a comet . Caroline Herschel lived to be ninety-eight years old. Before she died, she had discovered eight comets.

Caroline Herschel March 16, 1750 - January 9, 1848 Written by Melissa Nysewander, Class of 1998 (Agnes Scott College) When Caroline was twenty-two, her brother, William, took her away from her home in Hanover to Bath, England. He felt sympathy for his sister, and he needed a housekeeper. He also gave her voice lessons, and she became the most prominent soprano in Bath. By this time, William was an accomplished musician and a chorus director with a yearly salary of 400 pounds. He had a hobby that he supported with all his spare timeastronomy. William Herschel had an obsession with seeing deeper and deeper into space by creating very powerful telescopes. After Caroline arrived, his notoriety flourished in England as a great telescope maker. He quit his job as conductor after receiving a pension from King George III. Devoting his time to astronomy, he produced and sold huge quantities of fine telescopes. At this time, Caroline did not share her brother's passion for the science. William trained her in mathematics, yet she was still a house maid, not yet his apprentice. In time she began to help him in his business. She spent long hours grinding and polishing the mirrors they used to collect light from distant objects. At the age of 32, she became an apprentice to her brother. She knew the mechanics of the craft and had developed the self confidence lost to her from her period of servitude to her parents. She was becoming of greater use to her brother. Frequently, when he would leave on business, she would take over in his place. Visitors began to recognize her authority. King George III gave her a pension of fifty pounds. This was the first time that a woman was recognized for a scientific position.

Caroline Lucretia Herschel Caroline was born on March 16, 1750, in Hanover, Germany. Her father was a musician and encouraged her musical talents. She learned to play the violin competently, leaving the rest of her education limited. Caroline's father encouraged her learning, as he told her she lacked the beauty and fortune for finding a suitable husband. Her mother disapproved of her learning. Caroline's father died in 1767. In an attempt to prepare for her future, Caroline enlisted the aid of a neighbor girl to teach her sewing so she might acquire a position of governess. This proved to not be necessary, however, as her older brother, William, sent for her to come to England to keep his house for him. Her mother was against this venture, but allowed Caroline to go as long as William paid for a maid to tend to Caroline's duties in her mother's house. William and Caroline performed musically to help make ends meet. By the time she was twenty seven years old Caroline had become a popular vocalist. William had begun to make a career for himself in the field of Astronomy. As William's career became more successful, Caroline and her brother Alexander became his assistants. Caroline helped copy and record William's astronomical projects. William gained quick recognition in scientific circles and Caroline followed. She became the first woman in England to hold a position in government services when she became assistant to King George III's court astronomer, her brother William.
