Caroline Lucretia Herschel was a German-born British astronomer who was a pioneer in the field and is considered the first professional female astronomer. She made important contributions to the work of her brother Sir William Herschel, executing many of the calculations connected with his studies. On her own, she detected by telescope three nebulae in 1783, and in 1786 she became the first woman to discover a comet; over the next 11 years she spotted seven other comets.
She and her brother, William Herschel, do appear in a Season 2 episode of Xavier Riddle and the Secret Museum titled We Are William and Caroline Herschel.
She is voiced by Kaia Oz.
