quote [ Celestial Illustrations from Smith’s Illustrated Astronomy, by Asa Smith (1851). These are wood engravings with hand highlighting from a work created by the principal of Public School No. 12 in New York City with the goal “to present all the distinguishing principles in physical Astronomy with as few words as possible”. ]

A few years ago, I found someone selling some of these pages at a flea market. I bought the one on double stars (the back of it is also fascinating).

Planets Hershell & Leverrier seem oddly missing from my 1999 astronomy class.

There is a page where it says "Hershell or Uranus" and "Leverrier or Neptune" which makes it seem like they're synonymous
