Taking Up Space: Caroline Hershel

Moiya McTier tells us the tale of four feet of feminism, the singer, and early astronomer Caroline Hershel

Moiya McTier grew up in a log cabin without running water and now she's an astrophysicist studying planets outside of our solar system. Along the way, Moiya became the first person to graduate with degrees in both astrophysics and folklore from Harvard University, she wrote a science fiction novel, and she found a passion for science communication. When she’s not thinking about the universe, Moiya spends her time reading fantasy books and cuddling with her cat, Kosmo. You can follow her @goastromo- heads up her twitter is a lot of badass space content.
