Simon Holbeche of Bath Astronomers has sent the following notice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On Saturday 19th June 2021 at 7:30pm, an online Zoom talk by Dr. Wolfgang Steinicke has been organised by Wells and Mendip<\/strong> Astronomers supported by Bath <\/strong>Astronomers. The talk is entitled \u201cWilliam Herschel \u2013 Discoverer of the Deep Sky – The epochal work of the greatest visual observer and his talented sister Caroline\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The lecture by Dr. Steinicke describes the epochal work of William and Caroline Herschel. It focuses on deep-sky objects, visually observed between 1774 and 1817 with various telescopes. Most of these were discovered in the monumental campaign (1783-1802), aided by his talented sister. 2500 nebulae and star clusters were published in three catalogs. William\u2019s exploration of the skies from southern England also covered binary stars and objects in the solar system – with the height of the Uranus discovery in 1781. However, the man of German descent was far more than just an observer. He constructed large telescopes, developed new methods, and pondered the nature and evolution of cosmic objects, resulting in a revolutionary view of the structure of the Milky Way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you\u2019d like to attend the free online event, you can reserve your place on the numbers limited Zoom session using Wells and Mendip\u2019s Billetto ticketing page<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Simon Holbeche of Bath Astronomers has sent the following notice.
