and I have an idea that could radically change how science papers are written so we know exactly who thought of each idea, who ran each experiment, and who analyzed the data 🧐🔥👇

Born in 1750, Caroline Herschel worked as assistant to her astronomer brother William. But she also made her own discoveries of nebulae, stars & 8(!) comets.

In 1787, King George III officially employed Caroline as her brother's assistant, including a small salary that made her the first woman paid for her contribution to #science.

Caroline submitted over 550 stars to the existing star catalog & received honorary membership in the Royal Society. https://www.space.com/17439-caroline-herschel.html #history #HistoryRemix
