Caroline Moore Biography

Caroline Moore is an American amateur astronomer. At the age of 14 Moore discovered supernova 2008ha in the galaxy UGC 12682 in the constellation Pegasus. At that time Moore was the youngest person to discover a supernova. This record was broken on December 31 2010 by the 10 years old amateur astronomer Kathryn Aurora Gray who discovered supernova SN 2010lt.
Moore started her astronomical observations at the age of 10 when her father Robert an avid astronomer and the co-chair of the NorthEast Astro-Imaging Conference bought her a telescope. Since then they built a home observatory in the backyard of their home at Warwick 60 miles northwest of New York City. The observatory has a retractable roof and three advanced amateur level telescopes such as a 10-inch Newtonian reflector. However her serious observations were made not with her home telescopes but at the computer screen. The motivation came at a dinner with family friends in early 2008 where she learned that an 18-year-old astronomer had found a supernova. She then said I could beat her.
In April 2008 she joined the Supernova Search team at Puckett Observatory a private astronomical observatory dedicated to the study of comets and supernovas. The observatory uses four automatic telescopes which digitally record astronomical images. This large amount of raw data is then processed on computers by volunteers searching for unusual bright spots in the images which could be supernovas.
