The world?s leading experts on Herschel, discoverer of the planet Uranus, here offer their combined wisdom on many aspects of his life and astronomical research. Solar system topics include comets, Earth?s Moon, and the spurious moons of Uranus, all objects whose observation was pioneered by Herschel.  The contributors examine his study of the structure of the Milky Way and an in-depth look at the development of the front view telescopes he built. The popular subject of extraterrestrial life is looked at from the point of view of both William Herschel and his son John, both of whom had an interest in the topic. William?s personal development through the educational system of the late eighteenth-century is also explored, and the wide range of verse and satire in various languages associated with his discoveries is collected here for the first time. Hershel worked at a time of incredible discovery, and his work is still highly regarded in the field. Here it is given a thorough investigation which puts into context and perspective his path breaking career. 410 0$aHistorical & Cultural Astronomy,$x2509-310X 606 $aObservations, Astronomical 606 $aAstronomy?Observations 606 $aPhysics 606 $aHistory 606 $aAstronomy, Observations and Techniques$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P22014 606 $aHistory and Philosophical Foundations of Physics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P29000 606 $aHistory of Science$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/731000 615 0$aObservations, Astronomical. 615 0$aAstronomy?Observations. 615 0$aPhysics. 615 0$aHistory. 615 14$aAstronomy, Observations and Techniques. 615 24$aHistory and Philosophical Foundations of Physics. 615 24$aHistory of Science. 676 $a520.92 702 $aCunningham$b Clifford J$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910300538903321 996 $aScientific Legacy of William Herschel$91867675 997 $aUNINA
