Book excerpt: Excerpt from Uranometria Nova Oxoniensis: A Photometric Determination of the Magnitudes of All Stars Visible to the Naked Eye From the Pole to Ten Degrees South of the Equator Penetrated with the importance of some record whereby obvious variations in the brightness of stars could be ascertained important, not solely on the side of inevitable curiosity, but from the consideration that our own star, the Sun, might itself be variable in light and heat, William Herschel (cir. 1796) set himself to the task of forming that record, after his own manner and from his own resources. With this view, he did not propose to verify or improve Ptolemy's magnitudes, and still less those of F lamsteed, but he adopted a more practical expedient, leading, as he rightly thought, both to greater exactness and to greater utility in the direction of the variability intimated above. Accordingly, he divided a constellation into small groups Of two, or three, or four stars of nearly equal brightness, and he then arranged the stars in these small groups in the order of their lustre, One star might in this way be found in more groups than one, and thus might furnish the means also of connecting several groups together. Beyond this, he attempted with much success to designate the degrees of the various differences in lustre, not by numerical sub-divisions of magnitude as had heretofore been the expedient, but by the introduction of symbols such as dots, commas, semicolons, &c., placed between the stars whose brightness was compared. For instance, in his nomenclature, a dot placed between two stars would indicate all but absolute equality in brightness, the second star however being, if anything, somewhat less bright than the star which preceded the dot. A comma between them would indicate a somewhat greater difference of brightness, and so on. It is due to the reputation of this great practical astronomer to state that, on a photometric examination of the small differences Of light indicated by some of these symbols, there is a precision and a consistency generally observable, which excite admiration.
