Since 2009‚ Herschel Supply Co. has gone from two brothers starting up a company to a quirky international brand with around 200 members of staff due to the marketing savvy of having an appreciation for what it takes to be “cool”. The starting point of the company was to create an alternative to the generic gym bag that was more focused on the style and look of the bag but would continue to provide customers with the same functionality. However‚ today‚ style is still at the forefront of the company

motivation that led to this discovery was simply that the Universe was so big. Herschel knew that there had to be more out there than what has already been discovered. He made the effort to study the universe and came across what he thought was a comet‚ but ended up being planet Uranus. What questions were asked? There weren’t as many questions asked as a normal scientific discovery since it is claimed that Herschel discovered the planet Uranus by accident. However‚ as his discovery began to progress

I learned that William Herschel was not originally an astronomer by trade. He was actually an Organist in the city of Bath. After he had discovered Uranus‚ he sought to find how planets and stars were made rather than tracking the orbits of comets and planets. I find this significant because Herschel sought information that was different than what other astronomers were studying at the time. What was the motivation that led to the discovery? William Herschel was frustrated with the small telescopes

I chose to research the discovery of Uranus by William Herschel in 1781. When William first started getting into astronomy he‚ “…systematically searched for nebulae…” (Mark Bratton‚ "William Herschel’s Extraordinary Night Of Discovery." William enjoyed looking at the stars and enjoyed creating telescopes to do so. But‚ Alan MacRobert in his article titled‚ “Ice-Giant Spotting” explained that‚ “William Herschel in England swept up Uranus by accident in 1781 while using a homemade reflector in his

William Herschel discovered this planet on March 13‚ 1781. It unexpectedly was discovered while Herschel was working on a star-mapping project. Sir William Herschel announced its discovery on March 13‚ 1781‚ expanding the known boundaries of the Solar System for the first time in history. Uranus had been observed on many of other occasions

CHRISTIAN HUYGENS Huygens was a Dutch scientist. He lived from 1629-1695. He proposed the earliest theory about the nature of light‚ a phenomena that puzzled scientists for hundreds of years. His improvements on the telescope allowed him to make the first observations of Saturn’s rings and to discover its moon‚ Titan. CARL SAGAN Sagan was an American astronomer. He lived from 1934-1996. He may not have been a great scientist in comparison to others‚ but he is one of the most

contributions to the science of fingerprints and explain how they have impacted the science of fingerprints. Herschel Herschel was a great pioneer in fingerprints. He used fingerprints with a purpose in mind in the 1860’s when he used them to prevent forgery. He also reprinted himself and others over time and proved that fingerprints were permanent. He did this for over 30 years. Herschel was the first to propose the use of fingerprinting in the jails of India. This historically is call the Hooghly

Ancient civilizations like the Greeks‚ Romans‚ Mayans and Egyptians used astronomy in many different ways. The Egyptians knew that when the star Sirius was ahead of the sun the Nile river would soon flood the land. All the civilizations used astronomy as a tool to tell them when the seasons would change. Greeks and Romans named the planets after their Gods because they believed the sun‚ moon‚ stars‚ and planets were controlled by Gods. Ancient people used tools like an astrolabe to help them make

Born in 1738‚ Fredrick William Herschel‚ as a young adult‚ he was interested in music and moved to England to excel at the oboe. During his lifetime‚ he composed 26 symphonies as well as several other shorter works. An introduction to astronomy and mathematics by his father turned out to be his new passion. A fascination with telescopes peaked his interest and‚ in 1774‚ he constructed his first large telescope. He would spend multiple hours a day polishing and grinding the mirrors used in the
