Sofia Romanskaya (1886–1969) was a Soviet astronomer known as one of the first Russian women to have a significant role in the field.

Biography

Sofia (also spelled Sofya) Vasilievna Voroshilova-Romanskaya was born in St. Petersburg. She graduated from the Bestuzhev Courses, a prominent women's educational institution in the Russian Empire.[1]

Romanskaya worked at the Pulkovo Observatory from 1908 to 1959.[2] There, she carried out over 20,000 latitude observations in her studies of polar motion.[3] She was a member of the International Astronomical Union and attended the organization's 1958 General Assembly in Moscow.[4]

The asteroid (3761) Romanskaya, discovered by Grigory Neujmin in 1936, was named after her. A crater on planet Venus also bears her name.[5]
