Maria Mitchell never went to college but she had an honorary degree and many awards. She was born in 1818 into a large Quaker family. Her father taught her at home and then she went to a school for young ladies. After that she was self-taught. One award she received was for discovering a comet and one of the craters on the moon is named for her.
