* It's also far too late to have a woman[[note]]Or man, as unlike today, "witch" was not a gendered term, and could be and was applied to men; there were a number of men charged with witchcraft in the Salem Witch Trials[[/note]] formally charged with witchcraft in an English court; while the belief remained much later, the last such case was in 1712 and was considered something of an embarrassment even then. It's also possible all the overt supernatural shenanigans could have caused a witch trial hysteria, however witchcraft had been decriminalised in 1735 and prosecutions moved into the vagrancy act (i.e. if you claimed you could do magic, you were a [[ConMan con artist]]) and even before then it was an offence of degrees that didn't always merit capital punishment. Hence it's really weird for a government official to push for a hanging (even with bloodthirsty mob) for someone who didn't actually harm anyone.

* When Carina enters the astronomy store early in the movie, the astronomer says that "No woman has ever handled my Herschel". The first problem is that William Herschel was born in 1738 and wouldn't construct telescopes until the 1770s, roughly 10-20 years after the film's timeline. The second is that technically the telescope ''was handled'' by a woman; William Herschel had a sister, Caroline Herschel, who was known as an assistant and helped him in his researches.
