The Women on the Moon
In Chinese myth Chang'e was the woman exiled to the Moon when she ate a pill of immortality that was supposed to be split between her and her husband. She was accompanied by a white rabbit that pounds out the magic elixir of life.
In astronomy, a number of women are immortalized by having craters named for them. One of them is Mary Blagg, who tackled the problem of astronomical taxonomy, the naming of the features of the various celestial bodies in the Solar System. Given she was working long before modern space probes, it's unsurprising that most of her work should be focused upon the Moon, which was the heavenly body that could be observed in the greatest detail by the telescopes of the time.
