Talk:William Herschel/Archive 2

Categ Astronomy People
I've reverted the category Astronomy People since it describes people 'associated with astronomy who were not themselves astronomers'. Clearly, William Herschel was in the first ranks of astronomers. Hence removing the category. Ian Cairns 12:39, 14 Feb 2005 (UTC)

William Frederick or Frederick William?
The name is written both ways, so which is it? Also is the supposed name change anything more than Anglicizing his German name as Handel did, i.e. is it a real name change? Dabbler 11:57, 23 October 2005 (UTC)

His right name was Friedrich Wilhelm —Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.156.239.84 (talk) 10:48, 5 May 2009 (UTC)
