Eye injuries of early solar observers Harriot While Galileo did not injure his eyes by observing sunspots, some other early observers did. Most of these injuries were minor, such as long-lasting after-images. For example, Thomas Harriot Greaves [Both the Harriot and Greaves observations were quoted a little more fully by S. P. Rigaud in a hard-to-find work, Supplement to Dr. Bradley's Miscellaneous Works: with an account of Harriot's astronomical papers (Oxford University Press, 1833).] Rigaud quotes Harriot's remark on p. 34, and Greaves on p. 33. He cites Greaves's Misc. Works , Vol. II, p. 508 as the original source, as follows: Newton Fechner is instructive: both were deliberately trying to provoke after-images; both observed the Sun well up in the sky from inside a dark room; both suffered photophobia and retreated to a darkened room for some time; and both eventually recovered normal vision.) Newton gave a detailed account of his experience some 27 years later in a letter to John Locke [note his use of the y-form of the letter thorn e e hazzard of my eyes. The manner was this.

At his death he left a large number of manuscripts on various scientific subjects, and over the past three centuries these have slowly come into the mainstream of historical research. Harriot studied optics (about which he corresponded with Johannes Kepler) and had discovered what is now known as Snell's Law of refraction before Snell did, he made important contributions to algebra, and, from 1609 to 1613, he made numerous telescopic observations. His telescopic drawing of the Moon of early August 1609 is the first on record and preceded Galileo's study of the Moon by several months. Several of Harriot's Moon Drawings are available.

Internet Research Guide Textbook Site for: The Heath Anthology of American Literature , Fifth Edition Paul Lauter, General Editor Thomas Harriot Thomas Harriot, an Oxford-trained scientist, naturalist, and mathematician, wrote one of the most influential and best known sixteenth-century English colonial texts. First published in 1588, A Briefe and True Report of the New Found Land of Virginia, was based on Harriot’s voyage to the New World in 1585 on the second Roanoke expedition led by Sir Richard Grenville, Sir Walter Raleigh’s brother-in-law. Two years later, Theodor DeBry published Harriot’s A Briefe and True Report again, this time with copperplate engravings based on the watercolor drawings of John White, who had accompanied Harriot on the 1585 expedition. Not only did A Briefe and True Report offer readers a wealth of information on the flora and fauna of Virginia, it is widely recognized as one of the most detailed early English ethnographies of the native populations of North America. Indeed, its stature as an ethnography would not be surpassed until well into the seventeenth century with the writings of John Smith, William Wood, Roger Williams, and others. Reflecting the highly decentralized nature of English colonialism, Harriot’s

His account of the voyage, Brief and True Report of the New Found Land of Virginia , was published in . The Report contains an early account of the Native American population encountered by the expedition: its prejudicial attitudes were to influence later English explorers and colonists. He wrote: "Whereby it may be hoped, if means of good government be used, that they may in short time be brought to civility and the embracing of true religion." At the same time, his relatively sympathetic views of Native Americans' industry and capacity to learn were also later largely ignored in favor of the parts of the "Report" about extractable minerals and resources. As scientific adviser during the voyage, Harriot was asked by Raleigh to find the most efficient way to stack cannon balls on the deck of the ship. His ensuing theory about the close-packing of spheres seems to be an early predecessor of later atomic theory. At times he was accused of believing in

In 1584 he accompanied Ralegh's New World expedition to Roanoke, where, as a naturalist, he collaborated with painter John White to study the landscape and its inhabitants. Although Harriot must have kept notebooks, none of them survives. The existing record of his observations is A Brief and True Report of the New Found Land of Virginia (1588), an optimistic account of native culture that seems to have been written at Ralegh's direction. Although this work lacks candor Harriot avoids mentioning how the colonists fled a brutal storm by ship it does acknowledge how the Indians were gradually devastated by disease and provides detailed descriptions of these native peoples in their soon-to-be-changing natural environment. Explorations Among the English accounts of the New World, Harriot's Brief and True Report gains distinction from its association with the famous "Lost Colony" at Roanoke Island, a mystery which paradoxically helped to give later colonists, and citizens of the American republic, a way of engaging imaginatively with wilderness. A landscape haunted by English ghosts is, after all, a landscape that ghost-loving English men and women can connect with. 1. Harriot's

The history of Astronomy in Wales: Introduction ... Wales today J OHN P RYDDERCH (JOHN PROTHEROE) (c.1582-c.1624) Introduction The introduction of the telescope to astronomy at the start of the 17th century revolutionised people's understanding of the Universe. The immediate discoveries supported the Copernican model, which put the Sun at the centre of the planetary system rather than the Earth. Among the pioneers of the telescope in astronomy were Galileo Galilei, Thomas Harriot, Simon Marius, and in Carmarthenshire, Sir William Lower and John Prydderch (or Protheroe). John Prydderch (also called John Protheroe, John Pretherch and John Rytherch) was born in about 1582 in Carmarthenshire, son of the very wealthy landowner James Rytherch. He was probably educated at Jesus College, Oxford, and attended Lincoln's Inn, London. He inherited the estate of Nant-yr-hebog (occasionally referred to by its direct English translation, Hawksbrook). Prydderch became friendly with Sir William Lower of Trefenty, only a few miles from Natyrhebog. The two men discussed scientific issues, including astronomy. Through Lower, Prydderch was introduced to the distinguished English scientist Thomas Harriot. When Harriot sent a telescope to Lower, very shortly after the invention of the instrument, Prydderch assisted Lower in making some of the very first telescopic astronomical observations.

The history of Astronomy in Wales: Introduction ... Wales today S IR W ILLIAM L OWER (c.1570-1615) Introduction The introduction of the telescope into astronomy at the start of the 17th century revolutionised people's understanding of the Universe. The immediate discoveries supported the Copernican model, which put the Sun at the centre of the planetary system rather than the Earth. Among the pioneers of the telescope in astronomy were Galileo Galilei, Thomas Harriot, Simon Marius, and in Carmarthenshire, Sir William Lower and John Prydderch. Early life William Lower was born in Cornwall in either 1569 or 1570. He was the eldest son and heir of Thomas Lower of Winnow in Cornwall. His brothers included Nicholas Lower (later Sir Nicholas) and Alexander Lower. He went to university at Oxford, entering Exeter College in June 1586 at the age of 16. In 1589 he studied at the Middle Temple in London. He was elected to the English Parliament in September 1601 as M.P. for Bodmin in Cornwall, and later represented Lostwithiel from 1604 to 1611. He was knighted by King James I of Great Britain in 1603. A Carmarthenshire scientist and landowner Despite his strong Cornish background, William Lower married Penelope Perrot from Carmarthenshire around 1601, and moved to her family's estate at Trefenty in southwest Wales (also spelt Trefenti, Treventy and even Tra'venti). Penelope Perrot had inherited her father's estate on his death. Her mother had remarried the Earl of Northumberland in 1586, the Earl becoming her stepfather. This brought Lower and the Earl into close contact.
