Die Geschwister Wilhelm und Caroline Herschel gehören zu den wegweisenden Astronomen des 18. Jahrhunderts. Während Wilhelm Herschel 1781 zufällig den Planeten Uranus entdeckte arbeitete Caroline an der Beobachtung von Kometen. Dabei entdeckte sie 1783 drei bemerkenswerte Nebel und zwischen 1786 und 1797 acht Kometen, unter anderem den Enckeschen Kometen. Insgesamt entdeckte sie im Laufe der Jahre vierzehn Nebel, berechnete Hunderte von Sternen und begann einen Katalog für Sternhaufen und Nebelflecke, die heute Deep-Sky-Objekte genannt werden, anzufertigen.
