Étienne Léopold Trouvelot (1827–1895) was a French artist,
astronomer and amateur entomologist. (Curiously, he is most
noted for the unfortunate introduction of the Gypsy Moth into
North America.) His drawings of celestial phenomena were so good
that the Director of Harvard College Observatory put Trouvelot
on staff where he gained access to their powerful telescope. He
would go on to produce some 7000 astronomical drawings and
publish 50 scientific papers. |Getting more posts...|
