These natural philosophers saw God as the first cause, and sought secondary causes to explain design in nature: the leading figure Sir John Herschel wrote in 1836 that by analogy with other intermediate causes " the origination of fresh species, could it ever come under our cognizance, would be found to be a natural in contradistinction to a miraculous process ".

Herschel wrote many papers and articles, including entries on meteorology, physical geography and the telescope for the eighth edition of the Encyclopædia Britannica.

In 1835, the New York Sun newspaper wrote a series of satiric articles that came to be known as the Great Moon Hoax, with statements falsely attributed to Herschel about his supposed discoveries of animals living on the Moon, including batlike winged humanoids.

When John Herschel received news of Neptune's discovery, he wrote to Lassell suggesting he search for possible moons.

The term binary was first used in this context by Sir William Herschel in 1802, when he wrote:

The following month Sir William Herschel, a British civil servant based in India, wrote to Nature saying that he had been using fingerprints ( as a form of bar code ) to identify criminals since 1860.

" Heaven help us all if we failed to reach Herschel Island ", McKinlay wrote.

When Herschel published his 1837 sketch in 1847, he wrote:

* American composer Herschel Garfein wrote the music and libretto for an opera based on the Tom Stoppard play.

John Herschel supported this gradualist view and wrote to Lyell urging a search for natural laws underlying the " mystery of mysteries " of how species formed.

* 1789 – William Herschel discovers a new moon of Saturn: Enceladus.

John Herschel made many contributions to the new methods.

From the back garden of his house in New King Street, Bath, and using a, ( f / 13 ) Newtonian telescope " with a most capital speculum " of his own manufacture, in October 1779, Herschel began a systematic search for such stars among " every star in the Heavens ", with new discoveries listed through 1792.

His theoretical and observational work provided the foundation for modern binary star astronomy ; new catalogues adding to his work were not published until after 1820 by Friedrich Wilhelm Struve, James South and John Herschel.

The club played their home games at a new facility, Herschel Greer Stadium, located south of downtown Nashville at the foot of St.

The Authority stated that " The development of a new hotel at Mount Herschel remains a priority for the Authority, and we will be going to the market with a request for proposals in the next few months.

" The Rottnest Society has criticised the state government over lack of public consultation over the development: " The government has let us all down in not keeping a written commitment to allow the Western Australian public to comment via a properly constituted public comment process on the concept plans for the proposed new hotel at Mount Herschel ".

The " new planet " was Uranus, discovered in 1781 by Sir William Herschel, Astronomer Royal to George III, the first planet unknown to astronomers of Antiquity.

* ALMA, e-VLBI, Herschel Space Observatory, SKA: Developing and using new radio astronomical facilities.

The Herschel Observatory is capable of seeing the coldest and dustiest objects in space ; for example, cool cocoons where stars form and dusty galaxies just starting to bulk up with new stars.

p. 226 — Herschel calls the appearance of new species the mystery of mysteries, & has grand passage upon the problem .!

The density was revised up to 0. 64 g / cm < sup > 3 </ sup > in 2012 when new information from the Herschel became available.

Later critics said of the actual plan that, being the proposal of Coleridge, it had at least enough of a poetical character to be eminently unpractical ( Quarterly Review, cxiii, 379 ); but the treatises by Archbishop Richard Whately, Sir John Herschel, Professors Peter Barlow, George Peacock, Augustus de Morgan, and others, were considered excellent.

( 1974 ) and Ph. D. ( 1987 ) in the History of Art from the University of California, Berkeley, where she studied with Peter Selz and Herschel B. Chipp, both known for their focus on artists ’ writings, the social history of art, and international art, concentrations that shaped Stiles ’ s scholarly direction.

Among the team's offensive stars during that period were quarterback Randall Cunningham, tight end Keith Jackson, and running back Herschel Walker.

The first attempt to describe the shape of the Milky Way and the position of the Sun in it was carried out by William Herschel in 1785 by carefully counting the number of stars in different regions of the sky.

* 1785 — William Herschel carried the first attempt to describe the shape of the Milky Way and the position of the Sun in it by carefully counting the number of stars in different regions of the sky.

Since most double stars are true binary stars rather than mere optical doubles ( as William Herschel had been the first to discover ), they orbit around one another's barycenter and slowly change position over the years.

Peacock, in common with many other students of his own standing, was profoundly impressed with the need of reforming Cambridge's position ignoring the differential notation for calculus, and while still an undergraduate formed a league with Babbage and Herschel to adopt measures to bring it about.

On 13 August Bartlett calculated their position as east of Point Barrow, with a similar distance to travel to Herschel Island.

Optical images were taken of GRB 970228's position on 1 and 8 March using the William Herschel Telescope and the Isaac Newton Telescope.

In 1995, running back Herschel Walker received more passing downs and in 1996 fullback Charles Way was a main weapon.

During much of their work, William Herschel believed that these nebulae were merely unresolved clusters of stars.

However, in addition to his astronomical work, this voyage to a far corner of the British empire also gave Herschel an escape from the pressures under which he found himself in London, where he was one of the most sought-after of all British men of science.

In the opening lines of that work, Darwin writes that his intent is " to throw some light on the origin of species — that mystery of mysteries, as it has been called by one of our greatest philosophers ", referring to Herschel.

In the same year, Herschel received his second Copley Medal from the Royal Society for this work.

This process reflected the work of many predecessors, most notably John Herschel and Thomas Wedgwood.

His first work, An Elementary Treatise on Mechanics ( 1819 ), cooperated with those of George Peacock and John Herschel in reforming the Cambridge method of mathematical teaching.

Caroline returned to Hanover in 1822 following her brother's death, but did not abandon her astronomical studies, continuing to verify and confirm William's findings and producing a catalogue of nebulae to assist her nephew John Herschel in his work.

He visited England for the purposes of the work, and saw William Herschel at Slough.

The musical score for Burke's Law was largely the work of Herschel Burke Gilbert.

The method of identifying criminals by their fingerprints had been introduced in the 1860s by Sir William James Herschel in India, and their potential use in forensic work was first proposed by Dr. Henry Faulds in 1880.

The actinometer was invented by Sir John Frederick William Herschel ( March 7, 1792 – May 11, 1871 ) to measure the direct heating power of the sun's rays, and his work with the instrument is of great importance in the early history of photo-chemistry.

He was assisted throughout his work by his sister Caroline Herschel ( 1750 – 1848 ).
