TitleDiscoverers of the universe: William and Caroline Herschel
Author(s)Michael Hoskin
PublicationPrinceton, Princeton University Press, 2011.
Descriptionxvi, 237p.
Abstract NoteDiscoverers of the Universe tells the gripping story of William Herschel, the brilliant, fiercely ambitious, emotionally complex musician and composer who became court astronomer to Britain's King George III, and of William's sister, Caroline, who assisted him in his observations of the night sky and became an accomplished astronomer in her own right. Together, they transformed our view of the universe from the unchanging, mechanical creation of Newton's clockmaker god to the ever-evolving, incredibly dynamic cosmos that it truly is.
