OCR: JOHN HERSCHEL JOHN FREDERICK WILLIAM HERSCHEL was a widely talented man who should be remembered as a versatile scientist. He continued the work of his father William (who charted the stars of the northern celestial hemisphere) by charting the stars of the southern hemisphere. John Herschel was also a pioneer in the field of photography and made many contributions to the discipline, including the coining of the terms "negative" and "positive" to denote particular stages in the process of producing an image.
