[b]On the Roof[/b]
1
A lot of interesting things happened at Maria Mitchell's house. She was part of a big family with a lot of children. Something was always going on. Some of the most interesting things that happened took place on the roof of the house!
2
Maria's father was an astronomer. Maria liked to climb the stairs to the roof and watch the sky and stars with her father. She would press her face against the long metal telescope and "sweep" for hours. That's what she called looking back and forth across the sky. Maria would move her gaze the same way she would move a broom back and forth to sweep the floor. The telescope made the stars look bigger so she could see them better.
3
Maria wanted to observe the stars all the time. She spent many hours on the roof. In the early 1800's, there were no women astronomers, but that did not stop Maria!
4
It did not stop Maria's father from helping her, either. He knew Maria needed to read and study. The house was busy. There was no quiet place to study. He asked Maria's mother to take all the sheets out of a closet. He turned the closet into a cozy room where Maria could study. It had a window, a desk, and a light. Maria studied hard. She wanted to learn all she could about the stars.
5
As a young woman, Maria continued to go up to the roof. In the fall of 1847, while she was "sweeping," she saw a shiny light that she had not seen before. Maria kept notes of what she saw in the sky. She knew that area had been dark before. She was excited. She knew she was seeing something special. It was a comet — a bright hunk of ice, gas, and dust. Maria was the first person to recognize it!
6
Maria became famous for discovering the new comet. She was known as America's first woman astronomer. In her honor, a crater on the moon was named after her. Maria later became a teacher and taught others what she knew. She helped many people learn that they too could reach for the stars.
