Whales and Stars
A Love of Learning
Maria lived on Nantucket island, off
the coast of Massachusetts. At that
time, whaling was the way people
made their living on this island. The
sailors who hunted whales used the
stars at night to guide their ships.
How many stars do you see?
Maria never went to school
to be an astronomer. Yet she
learned how to read the
skies and solve math
problems that described the
movements of stars, planets,
comets, moons and asteroids. How did she
learn this? Hold this page up to a mirror to

A University for Women Family Riddle
In 1861, a university for women was formed in
Poughkeepsie, New York. Maria Mitchell’s
reputation led to her being one of the first
professors of astronomy there. While she wasn’t
able to go to college for astronomy, now she
could teach younger women who shared her
curiosity and love of watching the night sky.
Maria Mitchell was related to one of the Founding
Fathers of the United States. Circle every other
letter to find out who.
