Geocache Description:

Micro, need to bring your own pen.

Just in case...

Someone feels like caching on her birthday ^^

This is a puzzle cache. The coordinates posted at the top of the page are NOT where the cache is hidden. To find the right coordinates, solve this puzzle.

The cache coordinates are at N 43 alpha beta W 072 gamma delta.

  • Alpha can be found via an astronomer named Annie. She was the first woman to receive a doctor of astronomy degree from Groningen University. Alpha is her birth year - 1832.
  • Beta is for an astronaut named Sally. Calculate beta by subtracting 1068 from her birth year.
  • Gamma is for Caroline, the first woman to discover a new comet. Gamma is her birth year minus 1727.
  • Delta is for Williamina, who is the first American woman elected to the Royal Astronomical Society. Subtract 1024 from her birth year.
This is a micro cache, log only. Please bring your own pen or pencil, there is none available in the cache.

Happy Birthday, Mosaica!
