ABSTRACT / INHALTSTEXT
THIS BEAUTIFULLY STRUCTURED BOOK PRESENTS THE ESSENTIALS OF WILLIAM AND
CAROLINE HERSCHEL’S PIONEERING ACHIEVEMENTS IN LATE 18TH-CENTURY
ASTRONOMY. MICHAEL HOSKIN SHOWS THAT WILLIAM HERSCHEL WAS THE FIRST
OBSERVATIONAL COSMOLOGIST AND ONE OF THE FIRST OBSERVERS TO ATTACK THE
SIDEREAL UNIVERSE BEYOND THE SOLAR SYSTEM: HERSCHEL BUILT INSTRUMENTS
FAR BETTER THAN ANY BEING USED AT THE ROYAL OBSERVATORY. AIDED BY HIS
SISTER CAROLINE, HE COMMENCED A GREAT SYSTEMATIC SURVEY THAT LED TO HIS
DISCOVERY OF URANUS IN 1781. UNLIKE OBSERVERS BEFORE HIM, WHOSE
TELESCOPES DID NOT REVEAL THEM AS ASTRONOMICAL OBJECTS, HERSCHEL DID NOT
IGNORE MISTY PATCHES OF LIGHT. HOSKINS POINTS OUT HERSCHEL’S
ACHIEVEMENT IN SURVEYING, CATALOGUING, AND DESCRIBING THEM AS
“NEBULAE” AND EVEN COMING TO THE CORRECT CONCLUSION THAT THEIR
STRUCTURE EVOLVED OVER TIME, WITH NEWTON’S GRAVITY BEING THE AGENT OF
CHANGE.HERSCHEL’S SURVEYS ESTABLISHED A NEW ASTRONOMY – LOOKING AT
THE UNIVERSE RATHER THAN THE PLANETS! MICHAEL HOSKIN’S ACCOUNT
INCLUDES SKETCHES AND DIAGRAMS FROM HERSCHEL’S MANUSCRIPTS IN THE
ROYAL ASTRONOMICAL SOCIETY ARCHIVES IN WHICH HE ATTEMPTS TO DELINEATE
THE STRUCTURE OF THE MILKY WAY GALAXY. WHILE IT IS WELL-KNOWN THAT
HERSCHEL WAS A REVOLUTIONARY IN TELESCOPE DESIGN WHO CONSTRUCTED THE
WORLD’S LARGEST TELESCOPES, HOSKIN ALSO GIVES THE FULL PICTURE OF THE
MAN AS AN ENTREPRENEUR WHO BUILT AND TRADED SOME 400 TELESCOPES. HOSKIN
ALSO PAYS CLOSE ATTENTION TO THE ROLE OF WILLIAM S SISTER CAROLINE
HERSCHEL, WHO IS USUALLY PORTRAYED AS A “HELPMATE” TO HER BROTHER.
BUT IN FACT SHE BECAME A SIGNIFICANT ASTRONOMER IN HER OWN RIGHT. THIS
BOOK ALSO OFFERS A WEALTH OF INFORMATION OF THE WIDER HERSCHEL FAMILY.IT
IS ENRICHED BY A COMPLETE SET OF PORTRAITS OF WILLIAM AND CAROLINE
HERSCHEL WITH AN EXTENSIVE SET OF IMAGES OF THEIR RESIDENCES AND CLOSES
WITH A CHARMING APPENDIX ON HOW VISITORS TO THE HERSCHELS RECORDED THEIR
ENCOUNTERS. WILLIAM AND CAROLINE HERSCHEL – PIONEERS IN LATE
18TH-CENTURY ASTRONOMY WILL APPEAL TO AMATEUR ASTRONOMERS AND ALL THOSE
INTERESTED IN POPULAR ASTRONOMY. THIS BOOK WILL RAPIDLY ESTABLISH ITSELF
AS THE PRIMARY INTRODUCTORY WORK FOR STUDENTS, ASTRONOMERS, AND SCHOLARS
WORKING ON THE HISTORY OF NATURAL SCIENCE IN THE LATE 18TH CENTURY
