Trained as a musician, amateur scientist William Herschel found international fame after discovering the planet Uranus in 1781. Though he is still best known for this finding, his partnership with his sister Caroline yielded other groundbreaking work that affects how we see the world today. The Herschels made comprehensive surveys of the night sky, carefully categorizing every visible object in the void. Caroline wrote an influential catalogue of nebulae, and William discovered infrared radiation. Veteran science writer Michael D. Lemonick guides readers through the depths of the solar system and into his subjects' private lives: William developed bizarre theories about inhabitants of the sun; he procured an unheard-of salary for Caroline from King George III even as he hassled over the funding for an enormous, forty-foot telescope; and the siblings feuded over William's marriage but eventually reconciled.Binding Type: Paperback

Lovely earrings
Color: Silver, Size: 20-30-40mm
These earrings are thicker than what I wanted but they are so lovely and packaged so nicely that I am not going to return them. I will gift them to someone instead.

Very comfortable and light weight
Color: Gold, Size: 30-40-50mm
For what I would spend for one pair, I got three. Not knowing what size I wanted, I chose the three pack and I am glad that I did. I generally only wear stud earrings because of the weight and I don't like things dangling and touching me. So far, I have only used the smallest pair and like them. They are big for me but for most people probably wouldn't feel all that large. I am not certain that I will use the medium or large pairs but maybe some day I will feel dangerous. If you aren't sure what size you will feel comfortable with, I would suggest this package and try them all to see what your style might be. They are a good value and are light weight.

Earrings tarnished.
Color: Silver, Size: 20-30-40mm
Very pretty. until I used jewelry cleaner to remove the tarnish.
Says they are tarnish resistant. Not True. Had to throw away one pair that turned black. Very unhappy about that, because I really liked the earrings.
