   Extractions: John Frederick William Herschel was born on 7 March 1792 in Slough, England, the only offspring of the already famous astronomer William Herschel . Raised by his father and aunt Caroline (also an astronomer), he studied mathematics at St John's College in Cambridge, from which he graduated in 1816. He then launched into his astronomical career, focusing at first on the study of double stars. In January 1834, after five years of preparation Herschel set out with his family to the Cape of Good Hope, South Africa, to engage in the mammoth task of mapping and cataloguing the then largely uncharted Southern celestial hemisphere. It is during this stay at the Cape that Herschel engaged, in 1837-1838, in his pioneering measurements of the solar energy output. Upon his return to England in May 1838, Herschel became increasingly interested in the newly founded art of photography (a name coined by Herschel himself, in fact), and became a strong and vocal proponent for its use in astronomy. In 1849 he published his Outlines of Astronomy , which became a standard textbook for decades to follow. His

   Extractions: John Herschel was the son of William Herschel, the astronomer who discovered Uranus. His mother Mary Pitt was the daughter of a wealthy merchant. She was 38 years old when she married William Herschel, her first husband and her only child having both died. When John Herschel was born in 1792 William was 55 years old and Mary was 42. In addition to his parents, his aunt Caroline Herschel was another important figure in John Herschel's upbringing. William Herschel was not only a leading astronomer but he also had a great talent for music. Both he and his sister Caroline Herschel were extremely musical, and they had both used their musical talents to help augment their income after first arriving in England. John was brought up in Observatory House, with its 40 foot telescope, where music, science and religion were dominant. Caroline Herschel had left her brother's home when he married, but she continued to come to Observatory House every day to help William reduce his data and she proved an outstanding teacher to John, carrying out experiments in physics and chemistry with the young boy.

    Extractions: Home Staff Research Teaching ... Links John Herschel (1792-1871) John Herschel (son of the astronomer William Herschel who discovered Uranus) studied at Cambridge, and thereafter devoted his life to the pursuit of science. His scientific achievements included studies of double refraction in crystals, experiments in photography and photo-chemistry, a method of computing binary-star orbits, and other astronomical observations. He spent the period 1834-8 at the Cape of Good Hope, where he successfully extended his father's survey of double stars and nebulae to the Southern skies. Herschel published A Preliminary Discourse on the Study of Natural Philosophy in 1830. His analysis of the role of hypothesis, theory and experiment in science was acknowledged to be influential by Whewell, Mill and Darwin, among others. He drew a vital distinction between the way things are discovered (context of discovery) and the way they are investigated and established (context of justification). He claimed that the manner in which a theory was arrived at, was irrelevant to its acceptibility as a scientfic theory. One might arrive at a theory by means of a dream or sudden flash of inspiration, as well as by careful and painstaking examination of a phenomenon. It made no difference. However, in judging a theory's adequacy, observations were the key element. Use "Back" or "Refresh" keys or return to

    Extractions: Caroline Herschel was the daughter of Isaac Herschel and Anna Ilse Moritzen. She was sister of William Herschel and the aunt of John Herschel . Caroline's father Isaac was an oboist in the Hanovarian Foot Guards and rose to become the bandmaster. Although a man with no formal education, he tried hard to give his four sons and two daughters a good education. His interests in music, philosophy and astronomy led to lively conversations in their home but Caroline's mother disapproved of learning in general and although she reluctantly accepted that her four sons should have some education, she strongly opposed her daughters doing anything other than the household chores. Caroline Herschel's four brothers were all brought up to be musicians while Caroline showed an enthusiasm for knowledge which her father tried to satisfy despite all her mother's efforts to ensure that she did nothing but household tasks. Caroline recalled that her father took her [4]:- ... on a clear frosty night into the street, to make me acquainted with several of the beautiful constellations, after we had been gazing at a comet which was then visible.

    Extractions: English astronomer who, after constructing the largest reflecting telescope of his era, discovered Uranus, Oberon, and Titania in 1781. He was a patient, careful observer, who visually scanned the entire northern sky. His catalog of extended objects was compiled into the New General Catalog of Nebulae and Clusters of Stars by Dreyer . He constructed a map of the galaxy based of the observed distribution of stars Herschel discovered infrared radiation by noticing that the region beyond the red end of the spectrum would cause a thermometer to indicated an elevated temperature This amounted to a conversion from light into heat In 1820, he showed that right- and left-handed quartz caused rotation of the plane of polarization of light in opposite directions.
