German-born siblings William and Caroline Hershel built the Great Forty Foot Telescope in William’s garden in Slough. William was famous for discovering the planet Uranus in 1781, the first new planet discovered since antiquity. During its construction King George III and the Archbishop of Canterbury walked through the tube, the King saying to the cleric: Come my Lord Bishop, I will show you the way to Heaven!’ Share the story of telescopes and other inventions that changed the way we see the world with someone you love this Christmas: A History of Seeing in Eleven Inventions.
