Comet Chaser

The true cinderella story of Caroline Herschel, the first professional woman astronomer.

Once upon a time there lived a girl who swept floors and washed dishes and was little more than a servant to her family. Until, one day, an invitation arrived.

It was an invitation to a new country and a new beginning — a place where Caroline Herschel’s dreams, her fascination with the night sky, and her extraordinary talent would open up a world of astronomical discoveries and make her the belle of the scientific ball. In this empowering, true Cinderella story, Caroline Herschel must escape a humble life of drudgery, and with the magic of science, create her own fairy-tale ending.
