John F. W. Herschel

    Herschel fut un polymathe dont les contributions couvraient les mathématiques, l'astronomie et la chimie. Son travail de pionnier dans la photographie et ses recherches sur la vision des couleurs révèlent un esprit novateur. Au-delà de ses réalisations scientifiques, il s'est également consacré à des études botaniques, et son introduction du système du jour julien en astronomie a laissé un impact durable dans le domaine.
