    Extractions: Besides and before assisting her brother, William Herschel, in his great Deep Sky survey starting in late 1782, Caroline Herschel herself was an avid astronomical observer, and discoverer of comets (she originally found 8 of them) and deepsky objects.

    Extractions: Her brother, Sir Frederick William, pioneered in the study of galaxies and also discovered the planet Uranus. Caroline worked on the complicated mathematics for her brothger's observations. In 1928 the Royal Astronomical Society awarded her its gold medal for discovering eight comets and arranging a catalogue of 2,500 nebulae and star clusters. American Commodore and Scientist She attended Yale and New York Universities during World War II when she joined the Naval Reserve. She was commissioned a Lieutenant and ordered to the Bureau of Ordinance Computation Project at Harvard, where she learned to program computers. She later worked as a mathematician in Philadelphia, and helped program the first commercial large-scale electronic computer. Her navy career resumed in 1967 after she had been inactive since the war. She was appointed in 1983 as Commodore; the title of that grade changed to Rear Admiral in1985. Many colleges and universities have conferred honorary degrees on Admiral Hopper, and she was the recipient of the first Computer Sciences 'Man of the Year' award presented by the Data Processing Management Association. Russian Mathematician Mathematician and novelist who studied in Germany. She wrote a remarkable thesis on partial differential equations. In 1884 she became professor of higher mathematics at the University of Stockholm. Four years later she was awarded the Prix Borodin for a paper on the rotation of a solid body around a fixed point. Her work was so extraordinary that the value of the prize was doubled.

    Extractions: Astrónomo Autodidacta. Nació el 16 de marzo de 1750 en Hannover. Hermana de William Herschel, recibió de su padre una educación que la hizo interesar por la música y las ciencias. Después de la ocupación francesa de Hannover quedó bajo el control de su madre quien la envió a estudiar y la mantuvo ocupada con las labores de la casa. Posteriormente su padre regreso de la guerra y ella se mantuvo a su servicio hasta su muerte en 1767. Después de la muerte de su padre por fin tomó el control de su propia vida y estudió modistería y otras artes. En 1772 Caroline se unió a su hermano William en Bath, allí él tenía la música como profesión y siempre muy cercano a su hermana le enseñó canto. En la medida en que William en sus tiempos libres se involucraba mas y mas en la astronomía le enseño a Caroline lecciones de matemáticas e inglés. Además de cantante, Caroline ayudaba a su hermano en actividades musicales y disfrutaban el tiempo libre con la construcción de telescopios. En la medida que pasaba el tiempo ella iba ahondando sus estudios de matemáticas, álgebra, trigonometría y astronomía. La astronomía paso de ser una entretención para William una vez que descubrió Urano y comenzó a recibir pagos de la corona por su trabajo por el año de 1785, Caroline a su vez también abandonó sus múltiples actividades para dedicarse de lleno a la astronomía, se encargó con un pequeño telescopio de la búsqueda de cometas.

The Expanding Universe Sir William Herschel (1738-1822) This image was taken from the Web site of the Royal Observatory Greenwich , which is a part of the National Maritime Museum. No history of astronomy would be complete without an account of the contributions made by William Herschel (Friedrich Wilhelm Herschel) and his sister Caroline. William Herschel was born in 1738 in Hanover, Germany. William left Germany in 1757 and took up residence in Bath, England, where he made his living as a musician and music teacher. As a composer, William was fairly well accomplished; listed among his works are 24 symphonies, 7 violin concertos, 2 organ concertos, along with other compositions. The Discovery of Uranus Increasingly, William’s interests turned to astronomy. The first entry made in William’s astronomical journal was in 1766, and on March 13, 1781, William made his historic discovery of the planet Uranus. Contrary to popular belief, the discovery of Uranus was far from accidental. In fact, William had been observing Uranus as, what he believed it to be at the time, a comet for many weeks. William proposed naming the new planet “Georgium Sidus” (George’s star) after King George III, of American Revolution fame, but it was named, instead, “Uranus”. As a result of his discovery and his flattering gesture toward the king, William was knighted and made court astronomer by King George. Along with his discovery of Uranus, William is also attributed with the discovery of two of the moons of Uranus as well as two of the moons of Saturn.

    Extractions: Women in Science: Caroline Herschel Biography of Caroline Herschel, an astronomer and scientist. Information on her life and career. Caroline Herschel was a woman astronomer and scientist that lived during both the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. She is best known for her major contribution to the study of comets. Caroline Lucretia Herschel was born in Hanover, Germany on March 16, 1750, the daughter of Isaac and Anna Isle Moritzen Herschel. Her father, Isaac, was a gardener by trade to support his family, but he was also a clever musician, an oboist in the Hanovarian Foot Guards, rising to the position of bandmaster. Although he had no formal education, he strove to educate his four sons and two daughters and encouraged them all to learn mathematics, French, and music. Anna, however, looked upon education with disdain. While she reluctantly accepted that her four sons should receive some education, she strongly objected to her daughters receiving any education beyond that of basic housekeeping. While her brothers were all raised to be musicians, Caroline had a thirst for knowledge that her father tried to satisfy, despite her mother’s strong opposition. Tragedy struck Caroline at the age of ten and she contracted Typhus, which stunted her growth so that she never grew past four foot three inches tall. Because of her deformity, her father told her that she would never marry and would live out her life without a mate. This prediction became true, but she had many lifelong friends and admirers.

    Extractions: Invited, Monday, January 5, 2004, 11:40am-12:30pm, Centennial I/II [Previous] [Session 29] [Next] M. A. Hoskin (Fellow, Churchill College, Cambridge, UK) Caroline Herschel (1750-1848) is famous as the discoverer of eight comets, and the author of an Index to Flamsteed's British Catalogue of Stars, which the Royal Society published at its own expense. She was the devoted collaborator of her brother William during the twenty years he spent 'sweeping' for nebulae; and in old age she reorganized William's 2500 nebulae into a zone catalog that enabled his son John to re-examine these objects systematically, a work for which she was awarded a Gold Medal of the RAS. Nevertheless, study of her autobiographies and other manuscripts shows that her attitude to astronomy was ambivalent. William had rescued her from drudgery in Hanover, and her primary concern was to express her gratitude to him, even when his interests turned from music to astronomy and as a result she was required to abandon her career as a singer. Yet although the decision was hers, she often resented the sacrifice she had made. She emerges as a complex and often troubled personality, very different from the serene observer of legend.
