Nicole Oliveira has already found 18 asteroids.

When Nicole Oliveira was just learning to walk, she would throw up her arms to reach for the stars in the sky.

Today, at just eight years of age, the Brazilian girl is known as the world's youngest astronomer, looking for asteroids as part of a NASA-affiliated program, attending international seminars and meeting with her country's top space and science figures.

I searched about her. She studies at one of the best schools here in the country, if not the best. Certainly she will got way far and be a nice astronomer. This school is located at Ceará, the same state where the astronomers went to take pictures of the eclipse and prove Einstein's general relativity. It is also the state with more incentive to study exact sciences, so a lot of Brazillian physicist came from there.
