huge, and at one point during his studies, he began to become very intrigued by the discovery of nebulae. This interest of Herschel was partly due to the studies of another fellow astronomer in France by the name of Charles Messier.

Through many observations, Herschel came to the conclusion that this object moved in a relatively circular orbit, which was different from the orbits of comets. This observation…
