Caroline Lucretia Herschel (16 March 1750 – 9 January 1848) was a German astronomer and the sister of astronomer Sir William Herschel, with whom she worked throughout both of their careers. Her most significant contributions to astronomy were the discoveries of several comets and in particular the periodic comet 35P/Herschel-Rigollet, which bears her name.
She was the first woman to be paid for her contribution to science, to be awarded a Gold Medal of the Royal Astronomical Society (1828), and to be named an Honorary Member of the Royal Astronomical Society (1835, with Mary Somerville). She was also named an honorary member of the Royal Irish Academy (1838). The King of Prussia presented her with a Gold Medal for Science, on the occasion of her 96th birthday (1846).
Early life
Caroline Lucretia Herschel was born in the town of Hanover on 16 March 1750. She was the eighth child and fourth daughter of Isaac Herschel and his wife, Anna Ilse Moritzen. Isaac became a bandmaster in the Guards, was away with his regiment for substantial periods, and suffered ill-health after the battle of Dettingen in 1743.

Caroline Herschel: Discoverer of Comets
Caroline Lucretia Herschel (1750-1848) was the first woman professional astronomer, and by the time of her death she had been awarded the Royal Astronomical Society Gold Medal and had discovered 8 comets. In this talk Dr Sheila Kanani combines the story of a pioneering woman astronomer, with an account of the science behind comets, asteroids and meteors.
This talk will end with a demonstration of how to make a comet model using kitchen ingredients.

This vlog style film introduces Caroline Herschel and her brother William. Caroline talks about their work studying the planets and the solar system, and shares her astronomical discoveries, including comets and nebulae. She also explains how she was the first woman to discover a comet, which was subsequently named after her, 35 P Herschel-Rigollet.
William talks about how he discovered the planet Uranus.
After being made an assistant to her brother, Caroline Herschel was the first woman to be paid for scientific work. She made many observations and found 2500 nebulae, summarised in a list called the catalogue of nebulae and clusters of stars – abbreviated to CN. She recorded her findings precisely by drawing the nebulae.
This film is from the BBC series SciTube (Scientists and Scientific Method). The series provides an insight into some of the world's most famous scientists, and some of the biggest discoveries ever made in science. These vlog style parody films tell us about each scientist's biggest discovery, and the scientific method they used to determine them.

Teaching Primary Science?
As a starter to introduce a practical science activity, you could write a simple quiz to encourage pupils to capture the keywords shown in the video. Pupils can write their own definitions from these words using the internet or science dictionaries to improve their scientific vocabularies.
To consolidate their knowledge, you could get pupils to make booklets that include key information about the work of Caroline and William Herschel. They could define the keywords featured in the film, and find five or more pieces of additional pieces of information about the work of the scientists using books, encyclopedias or the internet.
These films are suitable for teaching Science and Biology at Key Stage 2 in England, Wales and Northern Ireland at at 2nd Level in Scotland. They also have cross-curricular links with History and Literacy.
