Before building Augusta, he had founded in Hyde Park the first school to teach the art of camouflage, and provided a demonstration for King George...
...variations in light from the star just before and after it was eclipsed by Uranus, they hoped to measure the diameter and study the atmosphere of the planet -which at a distance of 2.8 billion km. (1.7 billion miles) from the sun can barely be seen with the naked eye on a clear night...
