Moon Goddess Chang'E
Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, a Chinese holiday celebrating the harvest and family. Common practices during the festival include moon gazing and eating moon pies (which I personally would not recommend).
There are a number of myths behind the holiday, but they all star Chang'E, a woman who takes an elixir of immortality, ascends to the moon, and becomes a goddess.
