Extractions: by John H. Lienhard Click here for audio of Episode 395. Today, we meet a modest giant. The University of Houston's College of Engineering presents this series about the machines that make our civilization run, and the people whose ingenuity created them. W illiam Herschel, the astronomer who discovered Uranus, was 50 when he married. He was 54 when his only son, John, was born in 1792. John was raised by a cheerful mother, a famous father, and a maiden aunt, Caroline. Caroline was also an astronomer of first rank. It was she who discovered the nebulae in Cetus and Andromeda. For 56 years she and John were joined by a great bond of affection. The household was more than a home. It was also an observatory. The grounds housed the largest reflector telescope in the world. It was 40 feet long with a 48-inch mirror. You might say John was born with a silver telescope in his eye. At first, John studied mathematics at Cambridge.

Dans cette optique, ils traduisent le Traité de calcul différentiel et de calcul intégral , de Lacroix. En 1813, suite à cinq publications sur les mathématiques, il devient membre de la Royal Society. En 1816, ayant obtenu une maîtrise de Cambridge, il quitte définitivement cette institution. Il entreprend sa carrière scientifique à la suite d'une série de conférences, où il assiste son père, âgé de 78 ans. Ce dernier désire ardemment voir son travail continué et il compte fermement sur son fils qui vient à l'astronomie probablement par dévotion filiale. Les intérêts de John sont très diversifiés: la polarisation, la biréfringence, l'interférence de la lumière et des ondes sonores, et l'analyse spectrale. Pendant la première moitié des années 1820, il effectue plusieurs séjours en Europe. En 1821, il visite la France, la Suisse, l'Italie. En 1822, il apprend la mort de son père pendant un voyage; en 1824, il retourne en France et en Italie, puis il séjourne en Allemagne. Il rencontre plusieurs hommes de science et il en profite pour faire des expériences de physique, de géologie et de météorologie. Il pousuit l'oeuvre de son père sur les étoiles doubles. Aidé de J. South, il publie, en 1824, un catalogue de 380 étoiles doubles. Il participe activement à trois sociétés: la Royal Society, la British Association for Advancement of Science et l'Astronomical Society. Il participe à la fondation des deux dernières, occupe des postes importants dans chacune et reçoit leurs médailles et décorations. En 1816, il a compilé six catalogues comprenant 3 346 systèmes d'étoiles ( nébuleuses, amas, étoiles doubles, etc.). Il écrit aussi plusieurs articles scientifiques pour des encyclopédies.

Tycho's star maps During the 19th century the gap between the astronomical interests of the professional and gentleman amateur was closing. John Herschel and 7th Astronomer Royal,George Biddell Airy were involved in many of the same academic societies and sometimes sat on the same committees. They frequently corresponded with each other on scientific matters including the establishment of a new magnetic and meteorological department at the Observatory and the organisation of eclipse expeditions. John went to South Africa in the 1830s, where he made important contributions to our knowledge of the nebulae of the southern hemisphere. His work was not confined to astronomy, however, and earlier in his life he carried out pioneering work in early photographic techniques. Airy was later in correspondence with John's son, Alexander, Professor of Physics at the University of Durham between 1871-86. Among the topics they discussed was the use of photography in astronomy.

Outlines of Astronomy This was an enlargement of a second volume that Herschel wrote for the Cabinet Cyclopaedia Despite the technical and mathematical treatment of many of its topics, this was an enormous success, running to twelve editions in England, and more abroad, where it was translated into many European languages as well as Arabic and Chinese. In the Edinburgh Encyclopaedia published in 1830, Herschel wrote articles on the history of mathematics and on the isoperimetric problem.

http://www.bluffton.edu/~sullivanm/joslyn/joslyn.html

Extractions: John and Alan McDonald and Herschel Elarth Dedicated to George Joslyn, the building faces downtown, the site of Joslyn's empire. The building is clad with Georgia Pink (Etowah Fleuri) marbleoverlaying brick masonry. Although the original design was a traditional Beaux-Arts classical building, even as the structure was being built, modifications transformed the museum into a "Moderne" style. Many of these changes were in architectural details. Some decoration was eliminated from the original design, other decoration transformed so that the museum is now seen as a classic of American Art Deco. (See the thunderbird capitals below.) Two architects are credited with this change: indirectly, Bertram Goodhue, the influential architect of the Nebraska State Capitol , and directly, Herschel Elarth, the design architect who was responsible for the actual decorative alterations. In addition, the sculptor, John David Brcin, a Serb born in Croatia, designed exterior sculptural decoration following a program conceived by Hartley Burr Alexander.

http://www.bluffton.edu/~sullivanm/joslyn/joslyn2.html

Extractions: Brcin had contracted with the architects of the museum for sculpture of various types, in particular, two free-standing monumental equestrian statues for the main entrance, a long relief panel over the main entrance, panels for the east doors (see door panel ), and 8 corner panels, 7 of which are included below. Designs for the equestrian statues and entrance relief panel were rejected, the door designs had to be reworked, and the subjects for the corner relief panels were in part determined by Hartley Burr Alexander, not the sculptor. According to Graham W. J. Beal, the final panels reflect "Alexander's view of cultural development in America[;] the eight panels were divided equally between the Native American and the European contributions" (37). Since panels are located on the corners, the arrangement attempts to coordinate the panels thematically; to some extent, then, the corner panels can be viewed as a pair. However, the arrangement does separate the contributions of white settlers, occupying the panels on the eastern half of the building, from those representing Indian themes on the western half. The two panels relating to the career of George Joslyn as a newspaper journalist are located at the two corners of the east or main facade. Standing before a personified Intelligence, seated at the left, are figures holding signs for travela boat, train, and plane. Two other figures hold symbols for the telegraph and radio.

http://www.microscopy.fsu.edu/optics/timeline/people/jherschel.html

Extractions: John Herschel was born in Slough, England on March 7, 1792, the only child of renowned scientist and astronomer William Herschel. He received an excellent education, and while studying for his undergraduate degree in mathematics, instituted the Analytical Society of Cambridge in conjunction with George Peacock and Charles Babbage. The group introduced Leibniz notation into English mathematics to supplant the unwieldy Newtonian symbols. When Herschel graduated from Cambridge in 1813, he was at the top of his class. Herschel began to study in London for a career in law in 1814, but changed his mind within a year. He then returned to Cambridge for a brief stint as a teacher of mathematics, but left in 1816 to assist in the astronomical research of his aging father. The years they spent working together served as the groundwork from which the younger Herschel would build the rest of his career. In 1820, Herschel was one of the founding members of the Royal Astronomical Society and when his father died in 1822 he carried on his work, making a detailed study of double stars. In collaboration with James South he compiled a catalog of observations that was published in 1824. The work garnered the pair the Gold Medal from the Royal Astronomical Society and the Lalande Prize from the Paris Academy of Sciences. Herschel was also knighted 1831. In 1833, Herschel decided to temporarily relocate with his family to Cape Colony, South Africa in order to observe the skies not visible in England. Herschel's research was carried out at a brisk rate, and by the time they ventured home four years later, he had amassed an amazing amount of data. He had made catalogs of nebulae and double stars, had described the Magellanic clouds, which are only visible in the southern hemisphere, and had made a study of the intensity of solar radiation using an actinometer, a device he invented in 1825.
