Caroline the comet hunter

Caroline was the first paid and celebrated female astronomer who earned the prestigious Gold Medal from the Royal Astronomical Society. We will meet Caroline who will tell us her story of what it was like being a female scientist and making discoveries. Plus, we will make a comet, you will draw your own, and learn about what to look for when comets visit us.
