With the use of Adobe Photoshop, I created a digital illustration of the American astronomer, librarian, naturalist, and educator Maria Mitchell. Maria is known for her discovery of the Comet 1847 VI or T1 (also known as “Miss Mitchell’s Comet”) and was awarded a gold medal by King Frederick VI of Denmark.
Originally from Nantucket, MA, Maria spent the later part of her life residing in Lynn, MA until her passing in 1889.
