Image: © Lairich Rig Taken: 2 Sep 2005
Photographed from inside the Coats Observatory, this detail from a stained glass window depicts Sir Frederick William Herschel, a German-born astronomer who spent most of his life in Britain. He is best remembered for his discovery of the planet Uranus; however, he made many other scientific discoveries, and was also an accomplished musician.
