The Herschels and the birth of great telescopes
The Herschels began telescope making circa 1774 in London. William Herschel built a 20 foot reflector and discovered Uranus, earning Royal Society fellowship and Royal Astronomer honors the same era. Caroline assisted, sweeping the heavens and compiling star and comet observations, while both expanded the nebula and comet catalogs.

Tremendous Herschel Telescope and a Noble Sister’s Life
The 40 foot telescope built by Herschel between 1784 and 1789 revealed Saturn’s sixth satellite on first night. It magnified about 4000 times, a vast instrument later surpassed by larger mirrors. William Herschel’s health failed by 1822, died August 1822, while his sister Caroline, aged 72 in 1824, preserved his legacy. Caroline earned the Royal Society gold medal and honorary membership for cataloguing noble and illustrious figures, living until 1848 with letters that showed breadth and kindness.
