Brother and sister, William and Caroline Herschel left their promising musical careers to become astronomers. Whatever history lost musically, it more than gained scientifically. Until the Herschels, stargazing had largely been limited to observing the sun, moon, and planets visible to the naked eye.
Located around 100 miles west of London, fast-growing Bath had a lively intellectual scene at the time. William placed himself in the thick of it. He joined the Bath Philosophical Society, and through lectures, discussions, and readings soaked up the latest findings in science and physics. He studied the relationship between acoustics and mathematics. These interests led to physics, then to optics, which introduced him to astronomy.
Until the Herschels, stargazing had largely been limited to the sun, moon, and planets visible to the naked eye. The metal mirrors needed intense polishing since large glass mirrors were not available at the time. Caroline recalled William’s commitment to the task in her memoirs. “My time was so much taken up with copying Music and practicing, besides attendance on my Brother when polishing, that by way of keeping him alive I was even obliged to feed him by putting the vitals by bits into his mouth,” she wrote.
