Our paper on the Herschel simulator is now listed with MIT's Leonardo (@leonardoisast). It's mostly about boredom, but the paper itself is exciting :) https://t.co/TKLIl0J4VT

Last week @hillemmalouise continued her census of editions of John Flamsteed's Historia Coelestis by consulting the copies in our library, alongside our two copies of the Atlas Coelestis.

A great way to celebrate William Herschel, born #OnThisDay

Learning so much about the Herschels at this event #Herschel200 Have just seen a demo of a 3-D reconstruction on Sktechfab of the 20-foot telescope by students at @BathSpaUni in collaboration with @c_herschelsoc https://t.co/7pjUTndqAI

William Herschel, first president of @royalastrosoc, died 200 years ago #otd
We've loaned some of his key observation notebooks to the @HerschelMuseum #Herschel200 exhibition: https://t.co/BgKbK7pva5

Hugely enjoyed 'Cosmic Harmonies: A Symposium Celebrating the Life, Science, Music, and Legacy of William Herschel' c/o University of York @YorkFestofIdeas - a festival feast of inspiring, engaging and entertaining sessions!

Since the wonderful @UniOfYork Herschel symposium yesterday with @YorkFestofIdeas events & concert, this place will never be ordinary again. Nice to pass through the next day! @RachelCowgill1 @HerschelMachine @HerschelMuseum

@HerschelMachine @LeonardoISAST Enjoyed John Mulligan's talk at the HAD Herschel meeting. Question: Can John Mulligan briefly trace any connection between the vertical sweep method of the Herschels and the rise of transit telescopes? Thanks.

[Caroline Herschel's Bills and Receipts @HerschelMachine]

@Chamberlin_Obs @LeonardoISAST Excellent question! I can't draw a direct line between their transit-like use of the telescope and the increasing importance of positional astronomy, but this article has excellent parallels to what I outlined: "Astronomers Mark Time" https://t.co/DtqTBzWX7K

"Much confusion at first prevailed among the loose papers on which the first observations were noted, & some of them have perhaps been lost, for I remember several configurations of the situation... having been made by Sir William Watson and Mr. Marsden + only one could be found"

"When in June 1788 those papers were put in as much order as could be done without destroying the original, which by transcribing a memorandum from the _Book of work done!_ is as follows:"
