In March of 1781, William Herschel found an irregularity while studying the stars. At first he believed it was a star, but it was moving. Then he believed it was a comet.

Herschel, along with the help of many other scientists in his field, spent countless out hours and months studying the measurements, paths, and movements of this ‘comet’. In 1783,…

The breakthroughs achieved by Galileo, Kepler, and Newton revolutionized our worlds understanding of the universe. They were willing to accept the consequences of their discoveries, and made surmountable contributions to the furtherment astronomy.

Early Greek astronomy searched for understanding outside traditional religious beliefs, and assumed a more philosophical…

It was not until the completion of the thirteenth that lenses existed as they are today, even though their properties…
