NGC 253: Dusty Island Universe Image Credit: Steve Crouch EShiny NGC 253 is one of the brightest spiral galaxies visible, and also one of the dustiest. Some call it the Silver Coin Galaxy for its appearances in small telescopes, or just the Sculptor Galaxy for its location within the boundaries of the southern constellation Sculptor. Discovered in 1783 by mathematician and astronomer Caroline Herschel, the dusty island universe lies a mere 10 million light-years away. About 70 thousand light-years across, NGC 253 is the largest member of the Sculptor Group of Galaxies, the nearest to our own Local Group of Galaxies. In addition to its spiral dust lanes, tendrils of dust seem to be rising from its galactic disk laced with young star clusters and star forming regions in this colourful galaxy portrait. The high dust content accompanies frantic star formation, earning NGC 253 the designation of a starburst galaxy. NGC 253 is also known to be a strong source of high-energy x-rays and gamma rays, likely due to massive black holes near the galaxy’s centre. . . #NGC253 #SculptorGalaxy #SilverCoinGalaxy #GalacticBeauty #StarrySpirals #AstronomyWonders #DustyGalaxy #StarburstGalaxy #CarolineHerschel #Astrophotography #CosmicMarvels #SpaceExploration #GalacticDiscovery #SpiralGalaxy #StellarUniverse #GalacticDust #YoungStarClusters #StarFormingRegions #FranticStarFormation #HighEnergyXrays #GammaRays #MassiveBlackHoles #IslandUniverse #GalacticDisk #DustTendrils #SculptorGroup #LocalGroupOfGalaxies #GalacticCentre #XrayEmission #GammaRaySource
Post 1 “Don’t think just go for it”. This is my inner monologue when thinking about creating some assets for a show I’m about to open. Singularities or the Computers of Venus written and directed by Laura Stribling @roadtheatre Company 4/26-6/2. I saw this photo as I was marinating on what I wanted to do. I don’t claim to be educated in lightening formally but I like experimenting and just seeing “what if..” Time will tell. This lighting I found out is called chiaroscuro, signified by that high contrast of light and dark. The look tells so much story and reminded me of the recent eclipse. 🌑 That’s the shot I want. Going to play around. Keep you posted. Previews start Monday. Come enjoy the wonder and tell us what you think ✨ Xo Avery, aka #CarolineHerschel #theatre #latheatre #williamherschel #comet #astronomer
Yesterday I had an amazing, honour and unique opportunity - I got to name a bridge! It’s the Caroline Herschelbrug in Amsterdam. Named after Caroline Herschel, the first woman to be paid as an astronomer. She found many comets and made an accurate star catalogue. #carolineherschel #herschel #carolineherschelbrug #bruggeninamsterdam #bridgesinamsterdam #watergraafsmeer #watergraafsmeeramsterdam #womeninastronomy #astronomy #womeninscience #vrouweninwetenschap #sterrenkundig
The image for a blog post about Caroline Herschel. I made this of her with a t-shirt with her brother's, Sir William Herschel, face on it. Makes me chuckle. But her not all the crap she put up with because she was a woman in science in 17-1800s makes me not chuckle. Not at all. #robot_arms #photoshop #astronomer #carolineherschel #herschel #womeninstem
On this day 246 years ago, William Herschel arranged - and performed in - a concert at the New Rooms in Bath with his sister Caroline. Pictured is one of the original tickets to that concert, which cost 5 shillings - approximately £20 in today’s money. In addition to their skills in astronomy, both William and Caroline were talented musicians. William played the oboe, the violin and the organ, and Caroline was a talented singer. William was a composer of 24 symphonies and Caroline was the 'first principle soprano vocalist' for the Messiah concert. Physics and music might sound like incompatible disciplines, but it is actually very common for people with a passion for one to develop a passion for the other. Indeed our patron Sir Brian May is famed for being both the lead guitarist in Queen and an astrophysicist who helped NASA to land an asteroid! #herschelmuseum #carolineherschel #williamherschel #brianmay #spacelovers #astronomylovers #musiclovers #musichistory #spacehistory

Page of Wands: Caroline Herschel, Explorer (Artwork by Janelle Schneider Art + Design ) The Hero as an Explorer: A seeker whose initial curiosity about the world opens a gateway to scientific inquiry. Caroline Herschel was a 19th century astronomer who made several extraordinary discoveries of comets, despite being thwarted from joining the formal scientific community because she was a woman. Her fascination with the night sky led her to perform extensive research into comets, nebulae and other astronomical phenomena, ultimately winning her unprecedented recognition from the political and scientific authorities of her time. Caroline Herschel was driven by a passion for discovery. Setbacks and difficulties are to be expected, but ultimately the explorer grows stronger as these obstacles are sidestepped, challenged or overcome. The crucial step is to produce creative, personally fulfilling work now, and remain confident that future success will follow. #carolineherschel #CarolineHerschel #astronomy #astronomyart #astronomyfacts #womeninastronomy #WomenInAstronomy #pageofwands #wandssuit #explorer #eclipse #sciencetarotdeck #sciencetarot #tarot #tarotdeck #tarotreadings #science #sciencestories #tarotcards #sciencecommunication #tarotcardreading #tarotreading #tarotcardreader #tarotreadersofinstagram #tarotcardoftheday #tarotreader #scienceart
Night Spinner of the week has to be the astronomer Caroline Herschel whose home in Bath I’ve just visited, now the @herschelmuseum. Caroline (1750-1848) lived to be almost 98, despite a life of sleepless toil: ‘if it had not been sometimes for the intervention of a cloudy or moonlight night, I know not when my brother (or I neither) should have got any sleep’ she wrote in her memoir. Like other female astronomers (several included in in ´Sleepless: Discovering the Power of the Night Self’), Caroline worked nights scouring the sky and taking down her brother’s calculations while working full days as a housekeeper. In 1783 she discovered 14 previously unknown nebulae and star clusters as well as 2 new galaxies. She became the first female to earn a salary as an astronomer and was known as the Hunter of Comets. Caroline was also a talented musician, bi-lingual, blind in one eye, and stunted from typhoid. #sleepless #nightspinner #carolineherschel

🗓️ #Efemérides | Aniversario 273° del nacimiento de Caroline Herschel, la observadora del cielo 🌠 El 16 de marzo de 1750, nació en Hannover (por aquel entonces tierra prusiana) Caroline Herschel, una mujer que sería una adelantada a su época y que cambiaría la historia de la astronomía. Criada en el seno de una familia de músicos y sin tener una educación formal previa, a sus 22 años comenzó su carrera científica junto a su hermano Frederick William en Inglaterra. 🔭 Trabajando en conjunto en la elaboración de telescopios y observaciones astronómicas, Caroline logró marcar de a poco su propio nombre dentro del mundo de la ciencia y en 1786 estableció su propio observatorio. Luego de descubrir junto a su hermano más de mil estrellas dobles y confirmar así una de las primeras pruebas de la existencia de la gravedad fuera del sistema solar, se convirtió en la primera mujer astrónoma profesional en descubrir un cometa por su cuenta. 🎖 En total, Caroline llegó a descubrir tres nebulosas y ocho cometas, de los cuales seis llevan su nombre. Debido a estos logros, en 1828, se transformó en la primera mujer en ser miembro honorario de la Royal Astronomical Society y la Academia Irlandesa Real le otorgó el mismo título en 1846, mientras que a sus 97 años recibió la Medalla de Oro de las Ciencias por parte del rey Federico Guillermo IV de Prusia. #Tageblatt #astronomía #CarolineHerschel #ciencia #Alemania #cometas
Wie die erste bekannte Astronomin Maria Kirch hundert Jahre früher, hatte auch Caroline Herschel (*16.3.1750) als Frau keinen Zugang zu wissenschaftlichen Lehranstalten und formaler Bildung. Die Tochter des Hannoveraner Militärmusikers Isaak Herschel und seiner Frau Anna wird zur Konzertsängerin und Violinistin ausgebildet, mit 21 aber dazu verdonnert, ihrem Bruder Wilhelm als Haushälterin nach #Astronomie #CarolineHerschel #JudithKessler #MariaKirch #Sternguckerin https://os-rundschau.de/?p=3879
Heute ist der 275. Geburtstag von Caroline Herschel (*1750). Sie wuchs mit ihren vier Brüdern in Hannover auf. Als Frau wurden ihr ein Großteil der (Schul-)bildung wie das Rechnen verwehrt, weshalb sie sich einige Kenntnisse autodidaktisch erarbeiten musste. 1775 folgte sie ihrem Bruder Wilhelm Herschel nach Bath (UK), wo sie zunächst als Sängerin und astronomische Assistentin mit ihm arbeitete, u. a. an der Herstellung von Teleskopen. Im Laufe der Zeit forschte sie eigenständig im Bereich der Astronomie. Sie entdeckte 8 Kometen, führte Berechnungen zu Sternkoordinaten durch und erstellte einen umfangreichen Zonenkatalog hunderter Sternhaufen und Nebel. Sie erhielt als erste Wissenschaftlerin in England ein Gehalt und wurde 1835 Ehrenmitglied der britischen Royal Astronomical Society. Caroline Herschel stellt ein Beispiel für die Selbstermächtigung von Frauen in der Wissenschaft dar und kommt in der portraittheater Produktion „Sternenfrauen“ zusammen mit weiteren Pionierinnen der Weltraumforschung zu Wort. #fraueninderwissenschaft #carolineherschel #frauengeschichte

🌟🔭 𝐅𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐫𝐭 𝐯𝐨𝐜𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐬𝐭 𝐭𝐨 𝐚 𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐨𝐰𝐧𝐞𝐝 𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐧𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐫! This week's spotlight during Women's History Month, we would like to recognize Caroline Herschel. She was a trailblazer in astronomy who, against all odds, became the first woman to discover a comet and receive a salary for her scientific work in 1781. The King of England employed her and her brother through the royal court. Building a telescope with her brother, she discovered at least eight comets and fourteen nebulae, cataloged star clusters and nebular patches, and added 561 stars into the Flamsteeds Atlas. By the end of her life, at 97, she had received some of the highest honors associated with astronomy at the time, such as the Gold Medal of the Royal Astronomical Society and the Prussian Gold Medal for Science. #WomenInAstronomy #CometDiscoverer #WomensHistoryMonth
The Female Philosopher, smelling out the comet, 1790. In 1786, Caroline Herschel became the first woman to discover a comet. In this print she is depicted smelling through a telescope rays emanating from a cherub’s bottom and saying “What a strong sulpherous scent proseeds from this meteor”. Though not expressly identified in the print, Caroline was the only female astronomer of the time and so can be identified as the woman pictured. In 1787 she was granted a pension by George III which allowed her to earn a living as a scientist, the first woman to do so. Caroline Herschel was an honorary member of the Royal Society (women were not permitted to be actual members) and became the first woman to be awarded the Gold Medal of the Royal Astronomical Society in 1838. When she died in 1848 at the age of 97, Caroline Herschel had independently discovered eight comets and 13 deep-sky objects. #astronomy #enlightenment #womenscientists #womeninscience #carolineherschel #georgian_england

Encerrando nossa Semana das Mulheres na Ciência não poderia faltar uma pioneira da astronomia: Caroline Herschel! 👩🚀✨ Conhecida por suas contribuições notáveis para o campo da astronomia, Herschel desafiou as normas de sua época e deixou um legado duradouro que inspira cientistas em todo o mundo até hoje. Como a primeira mulher a ser reconhecida por suas contribuições à ciência, Herschel foi uma verdadeira visionária, fazendo descobertas que ampliaram nosso entendimento do universo. Seu trabalho incansável ao lado de seu irmão, Sir William Herschel, levou à descoberta de cometas e estrelas duplas, entre outras realizações notáveis. Além de suas realizações científicas, Herschel também foi uma pioneira em sua luta pelos direitos das mulheres na ciência, abrindo caminho para as gerações futuras de cientistas. Sua coragem, determinação e paixão pela exploração do cosmos continuam a inspirar mulheres e meninas a seguirem seus próprios sonhos e acreditarem em seu potencial. Hoje, honramos não apenas as conquistas de Caroline Herschel, mas também seu papel fundamental na promoção da igualdade de gênero na ciência. Que seu legado continue a iluminar o caminho para as futuras gerações de cientistas, mostrando que o céu não é o limite quando se trata de alcançar nossos sonhos! 🌟🚀 #SemanaDaMulherNaCiência #CarolineHerschel #Astronomia #MulheresNaCiência #InspiraçãoCientífica #Senemby
Rupi Kaur, poetisa feminista, uma vez disse: "Quero pedir desculpas à todas as mulheres que descrevi como bonitas antes de inteligentes ou corajosas". Hoje é uma data especial para enaltecer a força das nossas antepassadas que lutaram pelos direitos femininos e a força das mulheres que são atualmente presentes em nossas vidas, mas também um momento para seguir motivando novas meninas para continuarem acreditando em um mundo de igualdade. Nada melhor do que incentiva-las mostrando essas personalidades incríveis da história: 1. Marie Curie (1867-1934) ☢️ Ganhou o prêmio Nobel duas vezes e é uma das cientistas mais conhecidas no mundo. Um deles foi de física pela demonstração da existência de radioatividade natural e outro de química pela descoberta do Polônio e do Rádio, elementos químicos. 2 . Caroline Herschel (1750-1848) ☄️ Descobriu oito cometas, uma galáxia e catalogou centenas de nebulosas. Foi a primeira mulher a receber remuneração para pesquisas astronômicas, aprendendo os conteúdos sozinha com auxílio do seu irmão em matemática. 3. Ada Lovelace (1815-1852) 👩🏻💻 Programadora que escreveu o primeiro algoritmo de computador da história. 4. Lise Meitner (1878-1968) 💥 Descobridora da fissão nuclear. 5. Rosalind Franklin (1920-1958) 🧬 A conhecida "dama negra do DNA" descobriu que ele tinha forma helicoidal por meio de raios-X. 6. Cleopatra (69 a.c. - 30 a.c.) 🇪🇬 Governou o Egito de forma autônoma e fria. Ela inclusive falava vários idiomas para alcançar um maior público com sua sedução e carisma. 7. Frida Kahlo (1907-1954) 🎨 Foi ícone artístico e representativo frente à força das mulheres, do amor pela cultura, assim como coragem pelas adversidades. 8. Hedy Lamarr (1914-2000) 🛜 Atriz de Hollywood que inventou o sistema de salto em frequência, dando origem ao Wi-fi e ao Bluetooth. 9. Margaret Hamilton (1936-Atualidade) 📝 Escreveu manualmente o código da Apollo 11, evitando que o primeiro pouso na Lua fosse abortado. De qualquer forma, não é preciso ser rainha do Egito para merecer um parabéns hoje! Todas as mulheres do mundo devem se sentir acolhidas e amadas (não só em um único dia). 🩷

On Tuesday 19 March we’ll be BookTalking with Meredith Miller about her new novel Fall River. A dark, psychological portrait of life in the borderlands, Fall River is published on 21 March. In the meantime you can enjoy one of Meredith’s short stories via Fairlight Shorts. ‘Not From an Astronomer’ relates an incident in the life of the eighteenth century astronomer Caroline Herschel. Working at a time when women were excluded from scientific discourse, she nevertheless discovered several comets and was the first woman to publish her findings in the Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society. The story opens one night as Caroline, or Lina as she is known, is making careful observations of the night sky… ‘Heaven seems rounder at night. It cloches us, breathing frost. The weather is fine; no one will worry about Lina until morning. Thank God for the illness that shrunk her in childhood, made her delicacy indelicate, pocked her and put her at the edge of protection. Thank God there is no God, only heaven rounding above. Everyone is gone away across the Channel. They’ve sold another telescope to another king and it will take weeks to carry it in pieces to Prussia. Thank the stars themselves for this empty, flat roof.' Read the rest of ‘Not From an Astronomer’ by Meredith Miller and Book your place at this free event via the links on our bio.
Last week we had the pleasure of having staff and students from @uclphysics visit to see some of our history of astronomy items!

✨ Celebramos a Caroline Herschel, pionera #MujerEnLaCiencia. Astrónoma y primera mujer en descubrir un cometa. Su dedicación y talento iluminaron el camino para futuras generaciones. 🌌🔭 #CarolineHerschel #InspiraCiencia #MujerEnLaCiencia
Caroline Herschel, nascida em 16 de março de 1750, na Alemanha, foi uma extraordinária astrônoma autodidata que deixou um impacto significativo na história da astronomia. Apesar de um início de vida difícil devido a uma doença na infância, ela superou desafios e, junto com seu irmão William Herschel, fez diversas descobertas astronômicas notáveis. Caroline é reconhecida por ter descoberto vários cometas, uma galáxia e por catalogar 2500 nebulosas identificadas por seu irmão. Tornou-se a primeira mulher a receber pagamento por suas pesquisas astronômicas. Ela também desempenhou um papel crucial na atualização do catálogo estelar da época, adicionando nebulosas e estrelas em colaboração com William. Apesar das dificuldades enfrentadas ao longo da vida, Caroline Herschel recebeu várias honrarias, incluindo a Medalha de Ouro da Sociedade Astronômica de Londres em 1828, sendo a primeira mulher a alcançar tal feito. Ela foi uma pioneira que desafiou os preconceitos de sua época e deixou um legado de trabalho árduo e dedicação à ciência. #CarolineHerschel #Astronomia #MulheresNaCiência #LegadoCientífico #integrandocaminhos ✨ Matrículas abertas para juntar-se a nós nesta jornada educativa! ✨ 🌐 www.integrandocaminhos.com.br ↪ Siga-nos no Tiktok @Integrando.Caminhos 📞 Unidade l - Berçário: Rua São Paulo, 81 - São Judas l 62 3622-6533 (Fixo e whatsApp) 📞 Unidade ll - 1º ao 9º ano: Avenida Afonso Pena, 640 - São Judas l 62 3565-6220 (Fixo e whatsApp)

The poem was dedicated to astronomer Caroline Herschel (1750-1848) and numerous other female scientists whose work had gone unnoticed. Credit: Poetry Foundation. Slide 2: “Remarks on the new comet” from The Royal Society. With a Newtonian reflecting telescope, Caroline Herschel swept for comets, discovering eight in total over her lifetime. Her diagrams of her observations can be shown, and the account of her discovery became the first paper written by a woman read to the Royal Society. Credit: S. N.

On this day in 1788, German astronomer Caroline Herschel discovered the periodic comet 35P/Herschel-Rigollet, which has an orbital period of 155 years. The comet was later independently rediscovered by Jean Rigollet in 1949. Caroline Herschel, a pioneering German-British astronomer, was born in 1750 in Hanover. She contributed significantly to astronomy, notably discovering several comets. Herschel was the first woman to earn a salary as a scientist, hold a government position in England, and publish scientific work in the Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society. She received numerous accolades, including the Gold Medal of the Royal Astronomical Society, and was named an Honorary Member of the same society. Herschel passed away in 1848. .

Such a beautiful cover . Caroline’s Comets by Emily Arnold McCully tells the story of Caroline Herschel, the first woman to discover a comet. What I love most about science and engineering is the creativity, and the joy of developing an idea. An inspiring story for children. #carolineherschel #carolinescomets #emilyarnoldmccully #nonfictionbooksforkids #nonfictionforchildren
A Caroline Herschel se le prohibió estudiar en su juventud por ser mujer, pero eso no le impidió seguir su pasión y hacer grandes descubrimientos astronómicos 🔭☄️ Desliza para conocer más de esta gran científica 🪐🌠 #slaystem #womeninstem #astronomy #astronomia #carolineherschel #cometas #mujeresenciencias #lalinea #lalineadelaconcepcion
This is the Sculptor Galaxy , also known as the silver dollar galaxy and the silver coin galaxy. The Sculptor Galaxy is a “starburst galaxy which means it is undergoing a period of intense star formation. It was discovered by Caroline Herschel in 1783 during one of her systematic comet surveys. 100 x 180s exposures went into this image which was taken last month on one of the best clear nights that I had.

Since the book is only available in German, the following review will be in German as well. ﹏﹏ Das Buch handelt vom Leben der Musikerin und Astronomin Caroline Herschel (16 März 1750 – 9 Januar 1848), die bereits in jungen Jahren ihr Leben den Sternen widmete und nicht nur für die gesamte Nachwelt wichtige Informationen über unseren Nachthimmel erforschte, sondern auch zeigt, was es sogar heute manchmal noch bedeutet, als Forscher𝘪𝘯 opfern zu müssen. ⋆ Ich habe das Buch im Frühling gelesen und denke immer noch liebevoll daran. Es war mit 477 Seiten und seinen Dimensionen doch eher lang, weshalb ich es über einen längeren Zeitraum gelesen habe, aber das ändert nichts an der Tatsache, dass Carolines Geschichte doch sehr bewegend war. Auch die Kapitellängen waren sehr angenehm, da sie in ihrer Länge immer variieren. Stellenweise hat es sich etwas gezogen, aber ich hätte auch kein Wort weniger geschrieben. Lange und hart musste sie sich einen anerkannten Platz in der Gesellschaft als „richtige“ Astronomin erkämpfen und hatte dabei auch nur (mehr oder weniger) so viel Glück, weil sie gemeinsam mit ihren Brüdern geforscht hat (auch wenn sie sehr, sehr viel alleine gemacht und geschafft hat und ihre Brüder vieles ohne sie nicht geschafft hätten). Das Buch ist nicht vollkommen autobiografisch, sondern mit einigen Elementen ausgeschmückt, um die Geschichte spannend zu halten, was mir besonders gut gefallen hat. Ich muss öfter daran denken, wie fasziniert Caroline von den Entdeckungen wäre, die man bis heute gemacht hat 🥹 Mir wurde das Buch geschenkt, weil ich ähnlich wie Caroline musikalisch und astronomisch sehr interessiert bin und es war ein totaler Hit für mich 💙 Ich liebe es über Frauen zu lesen, die sich schon vor 200 Jahren nichts haben sagen lassen, nur weil es so angebracht war. Caroline ist eine von vielen genialen Frauen, dessen Geschichte es verdient, erzählt zu werden ☄️
Do you know about the work of German-British Astronomer Caroline Herschel? As most women in history, her work has been greatly overcasted by that of male figures. During her residency at Villa Waldberta @artistinresidencemunich, Nathalie Brans researched the life and work of Caroline Herschel, connecting this to her own photographs of the Sun and the Moon. We are happy to invite you to the opening of Nathalie Brans’ solo exhibition on the 14th of December, 6pm, at Villa Waldberta, where you can enjoy and discover the works she has developed during this residency! She has been creating an extension of her ‘Sun and Moon diary', a series of pictures of the Sun and the Moon - those ‘companions’ we take for granted, to use the artist's own words. The exhibition ‘Heavenly Bodies’ is open from 14th until 17th of December, from 2-6 pm, at the Palmenhaus of Villa Waldberta, Feldafing – Munich. “If the entire Universe could fit in a shoebox, then how big would the world be? And how big would I be?” HEAVENLY BODIES @artistinresidencemunich 14-17 December 2023 Opening, Thursday 14.12 at 6 pm Parallel program Saturday, 16.12 at 6 pm Lecture with Mojca Kumerdej & Barbara Korun, moderated by Martin Rohmer. Following, a Butoh performance by Stefan Maria Marb, at Salon Villa Waldberta. During this 3-month residency at A-I-R Munich, possible thanks to the collaboration between the City of Munich & @theartistandtheothers, Dutch artist Nathalie Brans had the opportunity to develop her research and work, connecting to local initiatives and professionals. #repost #residency #villawaldberta #solargraphy #solarigrafia #solarigraphy #lumenprints #carolineherschel Image credits in the comments 👇
Lynn Baxter: Magma, stoneware with black oxide and red glaze. 30cm x 36cm x 12cm. Showing till 9 December in Elemental Forces of Nature at Lansdown Stores, Bath, a show organised and curated by Sandra Higgins Art. My element is the moon, with its craters, lava and dust. I like the fact that both moon and vessel are formed by both physical impact and heat. The venue is not far away from the one-time home of Caroline Herschel, astronomer. #lynnnbaxterartist #elementalforcesofnature #themoon #moon #contemporaryceramics #studiopottery #contemporaryart #galleryart #artshow #bathartist #sandrahigginsart #lansdownstores #carolineherschel #astronomy #stoneware
