<div>Born in Germany in an era when no woman could obtain a formal
education in science anywhere in the world,<b> Maria Clara Eimmart</b>
(May 27, 1676-October 29, 1707) - the world's first professional
woman astronomer - by a century. She went on to become an artist,
engraver, and astronomer who produced some of the most striking
astronomical art since the invention of the telescope, in a time when
humanity had no idea that the universe contained galaxies other than
our own.</div>
