This week we have been learning all about the scientist Caroline Herschal.
She was born in 1750 and went on to become the first female scientist to discover a comet, the first woman ever to be paid for a scientific job and she also helped her brother, scientist William Herschal discover the planet Uranus.
She was a pioneer in her field for women and we have been discussing why her work was so important.
On Wednesday, 16th March (Caroline's 272nd birthday!) we made comets to mark her discoveries.
