Sir John Herschel

Sir John Herschel was indeed a man of many talents and made significant progress in all his fields. He was a mathematician, inventor, chemist, experimental photographer, and even an astronomer. On top of that, Herschel also did some fantastic botanical work and is credited for creating the very first blueprint using the cyanotype process.

His research into stars led him to name seven moons of Saturn and four of Uranus, a planet that his father, Sir William Herschel, discovered. Sir John also unveiled many scientific mysteries that led to numerous advancements in the field. His findings are still available worldwide in his books, like the best-selling ”Telescope.”
