Maria Cunitz (also known as Maria Cunitz Paterno) was a notable 17th-century astronomer and mathematician. She was born in 1610 in Silesia, which is now part of Poland, and she gained recognition for her work in astronomy during a time when female scholars were often overlooked. Cunitz is best known for her astronomical work titled "Urania Propitia," published in 1650.
