"This treasure trove provides a window into the inner workings of Victorian science. It’s like having your ear at the door of scientists at work, hearing whispers of science quite literally in the making,” said Royal Society historian Louisiane Ferlier. makingscience.royalsociety.org/items/hs/corre…
Over 10,000 letters by astronomer and photographic pioneer Sir John Frederick William Herschel FRS (1792-1871) have been digitised for the first time on our #ScienceInTheMaking portal. Travel through time to read about Herschel’s work in his own words: royalsociety.org/news/2024/06/s…

I've enhanced this remarkable portrait of Sir John Herschel (1792–1871) English astronomer who named 7 moons of Saturn & 4 moons of Uranus (a planet his father discovered). An amazing, characterful face, gazing back from 155 years ago. It was taken in April 1867 by Julia Cameron.
This star installation and the Herschel series are a homage to possibly the greatest observational astronomer in history - William Herschel. Zoom in!
1819 CREATION OF A HYPO JOHN FREDERICK WILLIAM HERSCHEL (1792-1871) Herschel discovers that hyposulphite of soda dissolves silver halides, working further to introduce a 'hypo' which will stop the action of light on light-sensitive salts. Young Herschel below.
Certain to be an excellent event. The lecture by Dr. Wolfgang Steinicke describes the epochal work of William and Caroline Herschel. ... billetto.co.uk/e/william-hers…
Very inspiring and insightful "digital just tickles two of your senses, I can see it, I can hear it...but I cannot really touch it, I cannot smell it". Though must declare a vested interest in silver halide photography and to having worked @kodak!
Swimming against the digital age. AN IMPOSSIBLE PROJECT in select theaters, VOD, and digital on June 1st. #ShotOnFilm
Not long now! @HerschelMuseum reopens next week with brand-new audio tours that brings the house to life, including stories about how the Herschel family lived and worked in Bath. visitbath.co.uk/listings/singl…
At w/e explored packet of Alexander Herschel (1836–1907) letters, son of Sir John. Minutely penned, this letter (1870) on travels in Norway with bro-in-law Admiral John (aka Jack) Maclear has finely sketched map of trip inc Gudvangen & Bondhus (deciphered with magnifying glass!)
Brilliant to hear "It's lift off for a new science centre and kid's space academy near Ipswich" @kineticcenter1 - sounds fantastic and great re-purposing of building!
