	Edward Charles Pickering - LoveToKnow 1911
		EDWARD CHARLES PICKERING (1846-), American physicist and astronomer, was born in Boston on the 1 9 th of July 1846.
		In 1886 the widow of Henry Draper, one of the pioneers of stellar spectroscopy, made a liberal provision for carrying on spectroscopic investigations at Harvard College in memory of her husband.
		With Professor Pickering's usual comprehensiveness, the inquiry was so arranged as to cover the whole sky; and with four telescopes - two at Cambridge for the northern hemisphere, and two at Arequipa in Peru for the southern - to which a fine 24-in.

		Colonel Pickering's house was attacked by rioters, and he would have been seized as a hostage for Franklin had he not escaped into the woods and thereupon made his way to Philadelphia, where he was chosen member of the convention for ratifying the new constitution of the United States.
		Pickering was one of the founders of the American oriental society and its president until his death, also president of the American academy of arts and sciences, and a member of various learned societies both at home and abroad.
		Pickering observed the solar eclipse of 1878 from Colorado, and in 1886 conducted an expedition to the West Indies to observe the total eclipse of that year.

		Pickering graduated from Harvard and then taught physics for 10 years at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, where he built the first instructional physics laboratory in the United States.
		He also discovered a new series of spectral lines, now known as the Pickering series, that turned out to be due to ionized helium.
		Pickering encouraged amateur astronomers and was a founder of the American Association of Variable Star Observers.

		With the first instrument of this kind, having objectives of 1.5 inch aperture, he measured the brightness of 4260 stars, including all stars down to the 6th magnitude between the North Pole and -30° declination.
		With Professor Pickering's usual comprehensiveness, the inquiry was so arranged as to cover the whole sky; and with four telescopes -- two at Cambridge for the northern hemisphere, and two at Arequipa in Peru for the southern -- to which a fine 24-in.
		These investigations have yielded many important discoveries, not only of new stars, and of large numbers of variable stars, but also of a wholly new class of double stars whose binary character is only revealed by peculiarities in their spectra.

		Among those four, the physics laboratory was to play an important role as one of the early hands-on teaching laboratories in the country, serving as a model for other schools.
		Pickering, twenty years old, summa cum laude graduate of the Lawrence Scientific School, soon replaced Rogers as the Thayer Professor of Physics and became the main force behind the organization of the laboratory.
