The Story of the Herschels
Sir Frederick William Herschel, FRS KH (1738- 1822) was a German-born British astronomer and composer who became famous for discovering Uranus. He also discovered infrared radiation and made many other discoveries in astronomy. His sister Caroline Lucretia Herschel (1750-1848) came to England in 1772 and lived with him in Bath. She was also an astronomer and worked with him throughout both of their careers. Her most significant contribution to astronomy was the discovery of several comets and in particular the periodic comet 35P/Herschel-Rigollet, which bears her name. His son Sir John Frederick William Herschel, 1st Baronet KH, FRS (1792-1871) was an English mathematician, astronomer, chemist, and experimental photographer/inventor, who in some years also did valuable botanical work.
