The Georgian Star: How William and Caroline Herschel Revolutionized Our Understanding of the Cosmos (Great Discoveries)

Picked this up after reading the David Foster Wallace book on infinity in the Great Discoveries series. Read a bit about the Herschels in Age of Wonder earlier this year.

Started this on 1/23. Finished 1/27. Good read. Need more from the Great Discoveries Series.
