In retrospect (now that my brain is in gear again), Mu Cephei was discovered by Herschel, not named after him.

Does anyone know who coined the term "Herschel region", meaning parts of the near infrared spectrum between 700nm and 2500nm? I have seen it used in some near infrared spectroscopy papers.

Well since that's near IR I assume its the region he observed. Dunno where the name came from mind, I've never seen it used Modest Genius ^talk 22:49, 13 March 2006 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2006-03-13T22:49:00.000Z","author":"Modest Genius","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Modest_Genius-2006-03-13T22:49:00.000Z-Herschel_region?","replies":[]}}-->

Where was Herschel buried? this article says he rests in St. Laurence's Church in Upton, but I arrived at this article from the article on Charles Darwin which said "In recognition of Darwin's pre-eminence, he was buried in Westminster Abbey, close to William Herschel and Isaac Newton." Which is correct?

I have added a similar note to the Darwin article's discussion page.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.69.105.44 (talk • contribs)
