Thanks for the share Glen .The video explaining Herschel's discovery gives one the gravitas of this extraordinary time in astronomical history. I think we should bring bask his "beard" description of comets
I am now wondering what the difference in personalities were between William and his son John were. I am sure John would have yearned to emulate his father in finding another planet. This brings me to NGC2867 . An image of which I took from the Cambroon Observatory property and entitled Herschel's Folley. What I can't work out is why John thought he had found a planet when NGC2867 was so far from the ecliptic???
